Not without putting risers on the exposed side of the fan - only one side has a spoke structure to support the fan, the other side is open and flush, so if you flip the fan over the fan blades scrape the heat sink fins.

Having customised PCs for years, my preference was to draw air from all directions over the heat sink fins and pushed away by the fan. I suppose it doesn't really make much difference in the end, but as shipped the fan would blow the air over the heat sink fins and towards the TEC.
