\relative c' takes a music expression as an argument, and in this case,
the argument is the parallel music << ... >>.

I don't see that you have a "wrong" tie direction.  Take all the
parallel music out, and LilyPond will choose the same tie.  If you want
to flip it up explicitly, probably the easiest way is writing ^~ instead
of ~.
