To add to this, the flags OP displayed are all reversed (the stars are in the upper right instead of upper left). That’s common in the military as it represents how a soldier would view the flag as it’s being carried by a flag bearer. It’s military cosplay.

If a flag is on the right side of your body (or in this case car) then it’s reversed otherwise it’s normal.

The U.S. flag appears backward on military uniforms when worn on the right side, so the canton is assaulting forward. This reflects the image of the American flag flying in the wind, the blue union field always moving forward to symbolize the bravery and commitment of military service members.

That’s not why the starfield is on the other side. The starfield always belongs at the front. If that flag was flying from a pole and being carried by the person or vehicle that’s where the starfield would be and why that’s how it is applied. The flag should be moving forward, not retreating.
