The transformation is defined about the y-axis. Your approach should be to
first make the center of the sheet align with the origin through
translation. Once you done the translation rotate it by 180. Then translate
it to the new location.

After you have aligned the sheet center to the origin, you could make a
custom affine transformation to both rotate 180deg and then translate
using one move command.

Best,
