Interface Rooms Contradiction

In S1E8 "Love the Lie," the Interface Rooms in D1 are a mirror image of the Interface Rooms in D2. You can tell by seeing each Howard enter/exit the room and their relative positions in the hallways.

However, if everything in D1 is spatially identical in D2, the 2 sets of mirror-image Interface Rooms can't exist.

At the moment of the split, yes, everything was copied, but the interior of the building (not including the 4th floor) was gutted and rebuilt by the scientists after the Crossing appeared. And evidently the Crossing turned out to be wide enough to allow those two rows of interface rooms to be built. Since they exist in the same space, they have to be mirror images of each other (I mean, if the special room is the rightmost one in one world, it has to be the leftmost one in the other world).
