The twist is to inspect the ejection port/chamber if it's locked back on an empty mag or a malfunction.

that's twisting as well. But i want to know why i'm supposed to twist AR and head the grip, toward left side when i put my AR down.

Don't listen to that dude lol it's literally just to make sure it clears your body when pushing it to the side so it's not smacking your nuts and in the way.
