pull the top plate
push out the studs
move them to the other holes
reinstall
There isn't much to picture really, it's not really just a 'rotate' you have to move the studs, it only goes in 1 way.

I got -2.7 without the hats rotated but I added a lot of shims. As a result of adding a lot of shims I think my caster dropped from 8 to about 7. Do you lose caster if you rotate the hat as well? I supposed if I rotated with all the shims I had you can get past -3.0?

rotated hats optimize the caster for high camber

So you can keep camber at stock 8 while getting -3 camber? When shimmed to get to -2.7 without rotating I lost too much caster. My 245 slick still fits but it's close due to the tire moving forward when caster dropped.
I guess the max camber and stock caster is how people stuff a 275 in the front.

with aggressive alignments you get better geometry with the rotated plate. so basically, yes, optimize caster while maximizing camber
