So, its looks as though i have the wrong BOW, mine is on the left side, tried to move it to the right side and it is not reversible. SO i am guessing the particular BOW is satellite particular, I am tracking down the proper one.
When i put it back on the left side and turned the system back on I have lost 20 points of signal... yes i was very careful about R/R the BOW.. Any thoughts?

You were not careful enough and the antenna will need to be readjusted if
you will be in that spot for awhile. If you are moving again soon and you
are still on line I would not do anything. I sounds like you have the old
white plastic LNB. If so you will need to get a universal BOW which is made
of aluminum and triangular in shape.
