The signals from the satellites hit the concave surface of the dish and are bounced back up to the feedhorn and LNB's at a diagonal angle.
That looks like an Eastern Arc 1000.4 LNB for 61.5, 72 and 77.
Google is your friend.
The easiest thing for you to do would be to contact your local Dish retailer if you have a good one.
I found this site thru Google lol. I'm still confused and no one has answered yet. If I look up in the sky towards the satellites are they not from left to right 110 then moving further right 119 then moving further right 129? But then according to what you are saying my satellite on the ground is the opposite of that. Am I understanding that right?
Your dish, the satellite is in the sky, is concave. So, while the 129 satellite is to the right in the sky the signal is hitting the left side of the dish and the 110 is hitting the right side of the dish. And yes, that is an eastern arc LNB. The western arc looks like this:

OK well I need to get the correct dish first or lnb. So why do the satellite signals that are coming down cross? That part still doesn't make sense to me
The signals bounce off the reflector of the dish to the lnb.

They cross because the LNBs are pointed backward at the dish which is more centered on 119 than the other two orbitals. Think of what happens when you look at a mirror from an angle. Do you see yourself in the center of the mirror, or off to one side, or not at all?
That's an Eastern Arc LNBF. THAT'S why you're not hitting anything. That LNB is for the 61, 72 and 77
Ahhhhhhhh I see says the blind man. OK so if I'm hearing yall right, standing behind the dish, if I'm getting 119 on the far left lnb, I need to rotate to the right(west) instead of to the left? Am I understanding that correctly? Sorry and thanks for all the responses!

The reflector is a mirror image of the signals. In a mirror, left is right and right is left and writing is backwards. That's why it's called a reflector.
Or you need to point to the SE, not the SW, but the Dish setup is different. Gimme a few and I'll look up the settings for you. GA is probably an Eastern Arc region anyway
Slightly, but you're in luck because Atlanta locals are on the 61!
So now since I'm switching sats, does that matter to the receiver? It tells me to point at 110 or 119
