Home electrical question (outlets)

Hey Guy's

So a question, so last year, I had some work done in my garage, by a certified electrician. (A view of what was done at the bottom, but view from 1.10secs)

So the initial dual receptacle was replaced with a GFCI one, with 2 spurs to dual non-GFCI's. Now I thought all was good and tested, but not so.

So today I decided to buy for other reasons, an outlet tester, with a GFCI breaker test button.

Now both dual 2 receptacle sockets, show as "Correct" on my tester, and trips from the button.

BUT, the GFCI, shows as "HOT/Neu rev" on "both" plugs and also the trip button on the plug tester does not trip the GFCI. The "test" break button on the GFCI does work.

All 3 sockets, power stuff, either individually or all 3 at same time.

Not sure if I can get the guy back, but can I just swap the "Hot and neu wires in the socket" ? Is this why the GFCI is not tripping.

Also, is it bad/dangerous just to keep it as is?
will swapping the "hot and nue", mess up something on the 2 spur receptacles ?

txs guys
