I've also tried switching the PWN cables but that just really messed up the controls because it was going backwards.

It sounds like you just need to redefine which direction is "forward" on your robot.

Seriously, Bongle has a suggestion that will work. You could also fix it in hardware by swapping the motor connections on the output of the speed controllers. That will make the motors run in the proper direction.
