Default Gas and temp needles on wrong side of stop

So this is my first post here. I disconnected my battery to clean the terminals thoroughly and when I reconnected it the gas and temp gauge needles had both flipped to the wrong side of the stop. I've searched and searched but I can't find anything similar. Do I just pull the cluster and wind the needles back? Which way?

Pull the cluster and shake/wiggle it until both needles fall back to their correct place

Hi, Tanin Auto here to help! Remove the cluster, turn it upside down, and move it until the needles go back to zero. We don't recommend doing this aggressively, just gently so no further damage is done. Let us know if you have further questions!
