No! just no. The oem mafs are HOT WIRE elements. You need to examine the element for breaks or loose pieces. rotating the maf sensor should not have an effect on it's function, unless the wiring is faulty, filter is blocking air flow in such a way, or the element is dirty or broken.

I have mounted mafs up away from fans, under the car, blow-through style, and directly on the throttle body, in almost all possible orientation. so I stand by my answer. If your mafs has never been bolted down; there is always that possibility that it might matter. Most electrical components don't like being banged around

What small springs are you talking about?
coils?
