Does lid sensor distinguish closed from flipped?

A Lenovo Yoga 710-15IKB acts as though the lid is closed when the display is flipped over. Is this normal behavior? I noticed this after repairing a bad LCD cable and camera connector on my niece’s laptop. I tried various iterations of settings for Lid closed behavior and it’s always the same. If set to “do nothing” with lid closed, the screen shuts off when closed or flipped, and the unit comes on immediately, but I want the screen on when in tablet mode.
