How long did you run the engine both times? Did a proper oil pressure reading ever take a nosedive during test running?
30 seconds. 15 seconds. 1 minute. 2 minutes. (approx)

If I did install it wrong, can I correct the problem by draining oil, and just installing correctly? Or do I need to do something else.

I don't really understand exactly how the oil system works yet.
