To reverse that cable, you would hold the slipped stitches to the front.

C6F is slip 3 to cable needle, hold to front, k3, and then knit 3 from cable needle. (The F at the end stands for front, the 6 stands for how many stitches are in the cable and I have no idea what the C is. I think it is cable, but that is rather generic.) What you are doing is C6B. So, I would keep doing what you are doing on this glove and then switch it to C6F when you do the other one, so the cables will twist right.
