are you trying to put the handle on right side of the reel from the left side of the reel ??
if yes then you have to change the screw pin of the handle. there is a spare screw pin in the box .

hope this help,s

Hi Bertrand ,

Check in the box if there is a screw like item , in the older Twinpower 4000HG one must change the screw like item when changing side of the handle . Shimano must have done this on the #6000 after down sizing the reel because in the older model , Twinpower 6000HG will change over straight out .
