Hi - I have my mag mounted components up and pins forward.
Should I tell this to the Arducopter code and if so how???

Cool :) if you familiar with it then just edit the APM_Config.h in the Arduino GUI connect USB and upload the new code.
If you have a HEXA frame, you also need to set this accordingly as well of course.
Depending on what version you had installed before you need to go through the setup again.
I had my mag also separately connected with a cable in fear of interference, but decided to mount it according to the wiki onto the PCB which makes it the default configuration as well.

If you never compiled code using the Arduino and the SVN repository, I would rather suggest you mount your Compass in the default direction Components down pins forward.
You can of course get into this, but it might be a steep learning path just to change the mag.

Just define this in your APM_Config.h:
#define MAG_ORIENTATION AP_COMPASS_COMPONENTS_UP_PINS_FORWARD
