Shower handle has to balance in the middle to keep water off

We have a moen shower and the water wouldn't turn off. We replaced the cartridge (same number on both cartridges) Handle is upside down. (We can fix this but before I turn water off I'll like to fix the real problem.) The handle has to point directly up to keep the water off. It seems to have the ability to go past off and scalding water comes out. This is our real issue. What did we do wrong? Thanks! submitted by /u/NoonieP [link] [comments]
