For the motor connector the wires, looking down from the side with the screw heads, should be, from left to right,

RED

(pictured). Check if the color pattern on all four of your motor wires is correct and

rearrange them if needed.

With these checks done, start connecting the motors. Track each cable from each motor to its corresponding

green connector and connect it to the board. The fit of these connectors is tight but you need to be sure to push

them ALL THE WAY IN so that there is good contact between the plug and the connector. Each plug on the board
is labelled on the top (note that there isn’t a difference between the Y1 and Y2 plugs, the Y-axis motors can be
connected to either of them).
