Hello
So I am trying to use the bridge tool with an item that I have mirrored...but it is getting twisted.
I used the deistance tool...to see if it will help but no go.

What should I look for?

Tnx!

Can you provide more information about what your trying to do? Couldn't get it from just words.
Have you watched this bridge video? https://youtu.be/M-M0QEkQJLg

Looks like a bug to me in the scenario you tried.

I tried to create 2 holes then the bridge cap tool but nothing so I am doing it wrong.

If you're trying to cap each hole individually then:
Highlight one edge of the hole (without selecting it) > hold D key down > RMB click the highlighted edge > release D key to cap the hole.

Hello attached a pic what I am trying to to.
If I have 2 cylinders and select 2 faces (not holes) bridge straight down...no problem

but when I try to bridge it at a longer distance it gets twisted and I do not know how to fix it

Try this. The polygon bridge tool is improved. If it does not work in the way you want, you can use the Bridge Hole tool which provides flexible options.
