My thoughts are you are more interested in the prop disc that is formed when the motors are turned on. I'd depend on eyeballing the running prop (from a safe distance of course) to see it's parallel to the ground. The firmwares have necessary correction measures to deal with minor errors.

If you want to know which prop goes on which motor as in CW and CCW, there are multiple articles on Google for various frame types.

If you move that prop in the pic clockwise (looking from the top), which side do you think the air will flow? Does that answer your question?

if u see closely where A is written it tells in which direction you need to rotate prop in order to lock & unlock on motor.

However the one shown in pic is a Clockwise prop.
