It's not that simple. I am no Qt guru so bear with me.
It's the way that Qt auto-resizes the buttons. Hard to explain unless you have played with Qt.

Currently Lanterne is stacked horizontally and the buttons are set to resize this is the simplest method of catering for rotation.

Another (more in depth way) of doing it is setting fixed positions for everything in both orientations. This requires code and general messing about IME.

Personally I'd go for the easy option add a thin QPushButton "Night (Red) Mode" above the current four QpB's that stays highlighted when toggled on.
