Probably the easiest way to do this is to manually edit your clockwise
template to put the chains in the same order as in the desired
anti-clockwise model. It will be essentially impossible to align the two
sequences correctly otherwise. You imply that you tried this already,
but I can't tell why it didn't work for you without more information.

(I'm assuming that your alignment between the two templates is
C-terminus to C-terminus, N-terminus to N-terminus for each chain. If
the sequence in the template is reversed, i.e. C-terminus in template
aligns with N-terminus in model, you would have to manually edit the PDB
to reverse the sequence.)
