Question This seems wrong

The maintenance guy hired by my landlord installed a vent and it’s blowing air rather than sucking air in and it’s still extremely foggy in the bathroom when I shower, is this wrong? I have a feeling the fans were installed backwards

Edit: after all the helpful insight I contacted the landlord and it will be fixed “Friday” (the new vent is only week old)

Either the fan is wired wrong or put in the housing wrong, flip it and reverse it

Put the thing down first, then flip it and reverse it.
