I want to install a pullup bar like this above an entrance because there is literally no other part of the wall that would be more suitable. But for that I need to put the mounts upside down, obviously. The pullup bar is 3 parts. The 2 triangle mounts, and the middle holder.

My idea was to just switch the triangle mounts and install them upside down.

There are 2 holes at the top in the initial setting because you get vertical and lateral force, and the bottom is just for vertical.

But if you switch them up, then the brunt of the vertical force will be on the 2 bolts, and the lateral force on the top bolt is lowered by a lot because it is so far away.

At least that's my theory.

Just wondering if there are any major safety concerns?

Thanks!
