Hello, I have loaded and HDRI Environment Map in Daz and the light direction in the final render is wrong, the altitude is ok but the horizontal direction is on the opposite side... so I want to make it to the left instead of the right..... Btw, I didn't change any settings after loading it.... The 'Dome Orientations' are all '0.00' and the 'Dome Rotation' is also '0.00'. What do I have to change?

The dome rotation would go to 180 degrees, but any visible part of the dome background will also change by the same 180 degrees. Not neccessarily what you want, but it's the nature of the beast that you can't separate the lighting from the background.
..this is why I prefer to use "Sky only" HDRIs and create the foreground/background using geometry billboards, and/or photo masks.
