I need help with a 3×3 redstone door

Let me start off by saying I am horrible at redstone. I am trying to make a redstone door that will push blocks down to close and pull them back up to open instead of creating a spiral or using one of the many hipster designs where the redstone is surrounding the door or is underneath it. I found this design a few days ago and unfortunately forget who came up with it but I really like the simplicity and compactness. However, this design works when it is pushing blocks up to close the door and pulling them down to open the door. I want the opposite. I have learned that when I flip the design (the last two photos) the timing is messed up due to some bug in minecraft with pistons. If anyone could give advice or recommend a design or any alterations to this current design to get this to work I would greatly appreciate it. I really don't want to give up on making the door open and close the way I want but I am willing to accept it if it is impossible.

The first three images are different angles from the video I watched (again sorry I cant remember who I watched but credit to that guy) and the last two are my attempt at flipping the design.
