You can mirror components in an assembly by going to component - create - select part or assembly in the left side and mirror on the right side. You have to give it a new name (this is for new components but it will copy placement of existing components). You get a second dialog box, in this box, select MIRROR PLACEMENT ONLY. and also this is where you will select the component (part of assembly) you will mirror and what the mirror plane is.

When you use component create mirror and mirror placement only, it will not create a new component, it will simply mirror the existing components placement based on the mirror plane.
