Just picked up a new bike and noticed one link ) not the quick link) is upside down on a sram force chain. The link on the other side is on the correct orientation. Anyone ever see this before from Sram?

That’s odd and has a chance of causing problems. Definitely take that back to the shop and have them swap out the chain.
Probably slipped through SRAMs qc. Not normal but it happens every once in a while. Either take it back to the shop and see if they can fix it or email sram and see what they can do.
At first I thought it was a reversed powerlock but that is an actual link. Weird manufacturing defect.
Rather than wasting a perfectly good chain otherwise they could just put a second masterlink there (at sram’s expense ofc)
