Question

Identify the configuration of each chiral center in the following compound

I put 3,6 as chirial center, and both are R configured, but the answer was both S. The Hs are on the horizontal lines so they are coming out of the page, when low priority atom is in the front, the configuration changes. I am confused with this.
