chem isomer question

Hi, please could someone check my drawing of the optical isomer? I thought the optical isomer would just be the mirror image of the cis isomer but the ms has drawn something different?

I think what you have drawn is right just that in the ms it was drawn 3d asin kinda overlapping. but yours is correct.

Optical isomers are just mirror images and so your answer is fine. The MS almost certainly showed the same structure as you drew, but having rotated it a little.
