Possibly installed the cpu cooler fans/cooler itself wrong?

As you'll see in the pic I installed the cooler upside down (the logo is upside down xD) and also can you tell if I attached the fans correctly? https://imgur.com/a/oRI2f0c

 

Should I be worried?

I cant tell if your rear case fan is an exhaust or not, but to me it looks like you have your airflow reversed. Air should flow front to back.

As it's setup now -- the CPU fans are pulling air from the back of the case.  If this is what you want then it's fine.  If you want it pulling air from the front of the case then you need to flip both fans.

Is it easy to fix? Should I just reattach the fans?

Do you have fans mounted at the front of your case?

Ok then you're gonna wanna flip the CPU fans so they pull air from the fans you're installing at the front.  Until then I would just flip the fan at the rear so it's pulling air into the case and feeding the CPU fans as they are now.  And then tomorrow flip everything around when you install the new fans at the front.

Is it possibly the reason my cpu temp is like 81 and voltage 1.475 max?

Could be.  That rear fan is fighting with the CPU fans.
