When you first set the pole and start on your downwind run you should find that one of the jibsheets (lazy jibsheet) is forward of the topping lift and over the pole. When you jibe you probably don't pickup the working jib sheet and duck the pole under before making the new guy. When you throw off the old guy make sure you also throw off old lazysheet. Now make the newly empty pole end on the mast.
You should now find that the entire setup is swapped to the other side. The trouble I foresee is that the jib sheets tend to be pretty tight to keep the headsail furled. This makes pole maneuvers difficult. This requires easing and making of the jibsheets alternavatively. Or you could pull the jibsheets forward and out of the way and avoid the hole mess. You would miss a few seconds of overlap during sail changes.
