Previous owner might have crossed my spark plug wires

Replacing my spark plugs (did it one by one so I didn’t cross wires) and I’ve just found out that the previous owner had nothing but trailing spark plugs, not sure what made him do this but I put my spark plugs in the right spot and now the car won’t start.
Last time I started it, it worked immediately, this time I tried 3 times and it wouldn’t start.

Does anybody know of any diagrams so I can make sure my wires are on right?

Figured it out

Nevermind, I switched them to where they we’re supposed to be
They’re actually labeled! I didn’t see them because my engine is a little dirty
both the ignition coils themselves are labeled (as either t or l) and the spark plug spots as well! It’s right next to it, t or l.

for anyone wondering the ignition coil for leading is near the headlight and the one for trailing is near the windshield.

id like to delete this post but I’m not sure how, I tried just erasing it all but it was “too short” so I’m guessing it’s just going to sit on this page forever!
