How to get the back button reversed on Xiaomi's Redmi 9T

I bought a Xiaomi smartphone, but the position of the back button is strange?

Among them, Xiaomi (small rice) has recently been attracting attention for its good cost performance.

Some models can be purchased for less than 20,000 yen with decent specs.
