Have a partner shift "horizontally" between gears in the car, you will notice this moves the left/right (not fore/aft) of the "H" pattern.
Found this video too:

Another thing, GETTING IT INTO REVERSE...
Spent much of today hunting (for myself too), as to how to get it into Reverse (without pushing Down/Up on shifter, or pulling some collar...).
Porsche is "different"...
The 'crash-through' gate is spring-loaded with a fair amount of resistance. Two distinct movements of the stick involved -- first is hard-left (to 9 o'clock position) with some force, to break past the crash-through gate, then an easy normal slot up to reverse. I suppose if you tried angling the dog-leg up to reverse from neutral in one motion (like any forward gear) it might behave as you described.
I think that crash-through gate resistance may loosen-up a bit from new....but if your learned instinctive motion is to 'pop' that first movement through the gate, you don't really notice the spring tension so much....
Literally, just went out to garage and tried the "crash-thru-the-gate" shift from Neutral to Reverse. VOILA!!!
Now we _both_learned something!

After watching several of these videos and reading about the G86.20 and the G96 are very similar and share common parts. The G86.20 trans reverse works just as Darius described with my trans. The 1-6 speeds are an “H” pattern and the reverse is a hard 9 o’clock and forward throw for those curious about it as well.
