After the installation use the rotation lock applet to fix the correct orientation as per

> Does the screen rotation change when tilting the laptop? If yes - when the rotation is correct - add the rotation lock applet in budgie-desktop-settings - panel to your panel and lock the rotation. Once done you can remove the applet from the panel.

have you tried on 19.10? 19.04 is about to go End of Life. Thursday, January 23, 2020. Those still using it after this date won’t get any more app updates, bug fixes, or, more importantly, any critical security patches.

Suggest use the try ubuntu budgie option on boot. This will boot to the live session.

You should tilt your laptop until the screen is the right orientation you can then add the rotation lock applet and use it to fix the orientation. Then you can install from the live session.
