You can change the direction of guitar pre-bends/pre-dives individually. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains. By default, guitar pre-bends/pre-dives are positioned on the notehead-side of notes in single-voice contexts. In multiple-voice contexts, they are positioned on the stem-side of notes.
