You installed a vsh queen- I assume she was painted. Do you still see her?

Queen cells point down.

Are you sure you are not looking at a drone cell?
From the pic, it looks as though this cell is pointing straight ot nearly straight out (horizontally)from the face of the comb.

Do a search for queen cells and for drone cells and study the images. This will be very useful over time.
