I've tried to clean focusing screen of my Nikon D750 by removing it out of the body and placed it back after cleaning. From then on, the focusing is acting weird. When I look through the viewfinder, in-focus subjects are blurry and out of focus subjects are clear. When I click a pic, I can see that the out of focus subjects through viewfinder are actually in focus in the picture. Why's this happening?

    \$\begingroup\$ Mirror is perfectly in place. Diopter is in usual setting. I think the issue might be with focusing screen. Does wiping it with a microfiber cloth remove some sort of coating on it? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Can it be inserted upside down or is it keyed to prevent this? \$\endgroup\$

Solved. I accidentally placed the focusing screen by flipping it on other side which made in focus objects blurry. I corrected it and it's back to normal now.
