Symmetry conjecture for Littlewood polynomials and equipowerful bipartitions

From papers

Let an LP be a Littlewood polynomial, let nn be its length, and let mm be its exact order. An equipowerful bipartition of length nn and exact order mm has a witnessing set. A polynomial or witnessing set is (1)m(-1)^m-symmetric when it has the corresponding symmetry described in the paper.

Symmetry conjecture. If there is an LP of length nn and exact order mm, then there is one that is (1)m(-1)^m-symmetric. Alternatively, if there is an equipowerful bipartion of length nn and exact order mm, then there is a witnessing set that is (1)m(-1)^m-symmetric.

All computational evidence in the paper supports this symmetry principle, but the source does not provide a proof or resolution.
