We can flip an adjoint equivalence around without changing the proofs.

Context
  (gf_id : forall a, g (f a) = a)
  (fg_id : forall b, f (g b) = b).

Modifies the proof of (f (g b) = b) to be adjoint
Definition fg_id' b : f (g b) = b
  := eq_trans (eq_sym (fg_id (f (g b))))
     (eq_trans (f_equal f (gf_id (g b))) (fg_id b)).

The main lemma:
Definition f_adjoint a : fg_id' (f a) = f_equal f (gf_id a)
  := let symmetric_eq
      : eq_trans (f_equal f (gf_id (g (f a)))) (fg_id (f a)) =
        eq_trans (fg_id (f (g (f a)))) (f_equal f (gf_id a))
      := eq_trans (eq_trans
         (f_equal (fun H => eq_trans (f_equal f H) (fg_id (f a)))
          (eq_sym (eq_id_comm_r _ gf_id a)))
         (f_equal (fun p => eq_trans p _)
          (eq_trans
           (f_equal_compose (fun a => g (f a)) f _)
           (eq_sym (f_equal_compose f (fun b => f (g b)) _)))))
         (eq_sym (commute_homotopy_id fg_id (f_equal f (gf_id a)))) in
     match fg_id (f (g (f a))) as p
     return forall p', _ = eq_trans p p' -> eq_trans (eq_sym p) _ = p'
     with eq_refl => fun p' eq =>
       eq_trans (eq_trans_refl_l _) (eq_trans eq (eq_trans_refl_l _))
     end _ symmetric_eq.

And the symmetric version. Note that we use the same proofs of inverse.
