CT installation direction

I have a multiplus II setup for ESS.
The system is grid tied and has a 3P75CT meter as the grid meter.
The meter manual says to install with arrows pointing from source to loads so I installed it pointing from source (grid) to load (main service panel). That seems right to me, but 98% of the time when I look in VRM it doesn’t make sense and appears to show the grid meter backwards I think. When I think I should be exporting to grid due to AC coupled PV generating 3kW and home is low and I would expect usage to be 200-300W, instead of showing usage at 250W or so and a roughly 2.7kW export to grid as I would expect, I see energy usage of around 5.7kW and grid usage of 2.8kW or so. I would guess I installed CT backwards but have checked a half down times. Or did I and in this case is this system the source and the grid the load?
To top it off, once or twice a day for a few minutes when I check it all looks good and the grid meter shows what seems reasonable.

Can anyone confirm that grid meter CT arrows should point from grid to home, and assuming I got it right, does anyone have any ideas what is going on here with the backwards value?

Direction can also be subject to incorrect wiring?

To test put large load on ( greater than what mp is set to supply)and see what is reported, if export reported then ct wrong way.

It’s not just about proper wiring. Please check the settings. It is set to grid meter or for example PV meter?
