Luckily I found this video and assembled the curtain. Also, just a tip for those who might have the same issue of the curtains being reversed in app and in reality. The guide says to hold the "pause" button in the app for a while, until the motor vibrates and moves the curtain a bit. Then the app will show the correct position and will open and close the curtain properly, as it is in reality. ;)

And the solution to it being reversed is actually quite simple and described in the guide you become in the package. When the app shows your curtain closing but in reality it's opening, what you should do is hold the "pause" button in the app for some time. The motor will vibrate and move for a bit. Then stop pressing it and the app will "learn" which way it is in the reality. After that, it works properly. I tried it out and it worked like a charm, without disassembling the whole thing and switching the belts around. ;)
