Spin numbers correct?

I’m getting confusing results from path and club face to path and the resulting spin axis. Shouldn’t these numbers result in a left spin axis? It seems like if end the session and start a new one it’s accurate for awhile but then I get confusing results. Am I reading this correctly?

    I've been looking for Garmin's definition and explanations of metrics calculations to ensure that what I'm concluding is accurate. However, I have not been able to find detailed descriptions of R50 Metrics.  

    Applying Trackman definitions and calculations to R50 session data I conclude there is some form of inaccuracy in the SPIN AXIS calculations. The results of all of my sessions consistently capture (-) Negative Face to Path values. However, the Spin Axis values are (+) Positive. It's important to note that the session data I'm referring to is related to irons. The importance of relates to the fact that gear effect is minimal with irons. Therefore, the larger spin values in a direction opposite to the face to path seems to point to some other issue.   Generally, face to path with irons should work in tandem with spin axis  (+ = +) (- + -).  That is not happening. The inverse occurs in all sessions.
