Quick question.. when calibrating the IMU in the upright position, should the mavic be leaning slightly forward so it’s resting on the legs OR should it be leaning slightly back so it leans on the back propellers? I can’t seem to make it out from the videos/pictures.

It should be resting on the flat side of the legs -- as shown in this video:

So to confirm, for the position where the nose is straight up, it should be leaning slightly forward so it’s leaning on the legs. Correct?
 
Yes that correct. It would be pretty hard to get it to balance perfectly vertical in the upright position without falling over.

That's correct. The flat side of the legs should be making contact with the surface where the Mavic is sitting.
