I'd like it to look in this way:

Moving the dimension label

Select the dimension, then drag the text label using its blue reference point with the mouse.

Arrows on the outside

View > Property Editor
Change the properties "Flip First Arrow" and "Flip Second Arrow" to "yes".

Thank you. I couldn't flip arrows individually, but I clicked circle inside of one arrow and it worked.

Please attach your drawing file. Feel free to reduce it to the dimension with that problem.
