But after I execute:

OK so after fiddling with this for hours...in case someone runs into same problem. I did two things...

I edited (appended at the end) cmdline.txt in /boot/firmware with video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1200@60,rotate=270 That rotated the CLI.

Then I changed the start_picframe.sh This line: wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --transform 270 --on

That did the trick!
