there are three fundamental settinigs for SPI:
- bit order: MSB or LSB
- clock idle polarity: high or low
- clock shift edge: data is shifted on raising or falling edge
Clock polarity and shift edge (two values) build the four modes. See Serial Peripheral Interface Bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I assume that your device is using MSB, so configure this as such.
From your original question, it looks you need to set it to 'shifted at rising edge'.
Clock idle polarity: check your device data sheet.
