I need both gradients to be changeable in direction
Actvate the Gradient tool [g]. In the tool control bar select [Reverse the direction of the gradient] or drag the gradient colour stops on the canvas. Download this drawing to practice on.
When opening fill and stroke panel, once you've created a gradient, you can choose it again. Click on gradient fill icon, and click on the icon next to "Gradient:" : there you can find the gradients used in your document, you can rename them (here I did rename it) by clicking on their name and presse enter. You can also see how many object have this gradient.
You can modify its orientation on an object without modifying the orientation of all instances of this gradient.

I have downloaded Inkscape from its official website, so I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what."
