Default Rookie mistake

Major rookie mistake. Replacing valve covers and didn’t label order wiring harness plugs into each coil pack. Have photo of which plug goes to cylinder 6 but 2 & 4 exit the harness at nearly same location and can’t really tell which goes to which. I believe I have #6 correct, but 2 & 4 tougher to figure out. Can anyone tell me if my markups on photo are correct?

Let me see if I a picture for you. By the way, I thought I had mine in the wrong order because it was idling really rough like a diesel. Turns out I had a forgotten to plug in a vacuum hose on the passenger side into the plenum. Also, a plenum leak around the gasket will cause it as well. Sounds crazy, but if you put some saran wrap around the seam it will seal it up if there is a leak and will make it easy to find. Listen for some hissing.

Here you go.. I had this same issue and luckily I found a video on you tube and was able to capture a frame of the "before" to figure it out.
