Conclusion - thx Steve and others - well as mentioned above last owner installed two of the same brake disk calipers hence the reason why one nipple is at bottom and simply cannot flip around. So, what did I do, I removed the caliper pictured above, flipped it right side up and bleed the thing in my hand with trusty assistant and viola, bubbles came out and problem solved. Will leave as is for now as calipers are good just same - RH - on both sides.
thx again for all the help..
