Default Inverted Raptor Front Shocks from Dealer?

Hi all, We recently found this BB and think it's great. Here goes, We just purchased 3 2004 Yamaha's from a dealer in Oregon. Blaster, Warrior and Raptor LE, while out riding for the first time at a local sand dune, my brother in law asked why the front shocks on my Raptor were upside down. The front shocks on his Raptor have the adjustments on the bottom of the shocks, mine are on the top. I had no idea. He took a ride on it and said it felt much squishy-er than his did. I mentioned I had felt the front end bottom out, HARD while riding it. 2 other riders approached and also mentioned my shocks were upsidedown. The questions I have are these: Have the front shocks been damaged by being installed upside down? Can I get the dealer to replace them? What if I would have been injured while riding on these shocks? Who installs the shocks at a dealership. I am going to take all 3 in this week to have them checked out and any information I have will help.
