from the look of new growth, I'm suspecting my cutting was planted upside down, however; I'm seeing a small new leaf, what should I do? 

Are you 100% certain it is upside down?

I felt like a dope. Looking at my cuttings, one had a white "worm" coming out of it... Yeah, it was a root. I flipped it around, and it's doing well. 

thank you for replying, I'm not 1000% certain it's up side down, but based on what i saw from the other cuttings this one seems to be growing the wrong way. Here are some pictures.

It is right side up, there is something going on with the growth and is is contorted, probably FMV. See the large leaf scar under the new shoot, that is how you tell which way is up.

what is FMV?

Bud (growth) IS above (old) leaf scar.
Definitely it is the right-side-up.

FMV = FigMosiacVirus.
A very common F.carica ailment.
It clearly shows up both as mis-colored and/or mis-shapen leaves;
specially while under some stress; e.g., while rooting...

Thanks Gorgi, what should I do about FMV, or should I wait and see?

Most fig people seem to live-up with it FMV.
Some do NOT; if you like it that way; good luck!
One will need to be EXTREMELY choosey about the fig source.
Yes, some of my figs do have it.

Some fig (old) cultivars seem to be more, more  prone to it
(my worst is UC.Davis  Ischia Black (UCD90)
and NO there seems not  be any easy cure.

Most successful upside down cuttings that I have seen have eventually sent a shoot up for a bud that is beneath where the roots formed, so that the direction of sap flow is correct, even if it has a loop in is. That is to say, the a bud deeper in the soil than the roots, which would have been higher on the cutting if planted right-side up, and thus above the roots, will send up a short (if there is a viable bud to do so), and that shoot is now in the correct sap flow direction from the root, and will perform fine.

Here is another example of FMV-contorted growth (this plant died 3 wks later):  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Some-finds-to-share-from-today-4750458

Also, a nifty guide to knowing every time whether your plant is right-side up or upside-down is here:  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/show_single_post?pid=1272510139&postcount=11

Thanks everyone, I guess nothing to do but wait for the roots.

My uncle told me this [modified Gorgi's image as an example]:

See Orienting scion

Often times, yes.  You'll find tomatoes do something similar as well, only they produce bumps all over between nodes.

Gorgi and PaulandDirene are the 2 best ways to tell which way is up or down.
