Spark Plugs

I think the mechanic installed the spark plugs the wrong way. The trailing spark plugs, marked by the blue cord, are supposed to be on top. The leading ones, black cord, on the bottom, right? But when I look at them, the leadings are on top and the trailings are on bottom. The leading spark plugs are also connected by the blue cord. This is wrong, right? Because when I'm looking, the spark plugs on top have an "L" and are connected to the blue cord. The spark plugs on the bottom have a "T" and are connected to the black cord. So should I switch em?

And does it matter whether I plug in T1 (or the others) to the left or right plug? Or should T1 go left and T2 right?

Some guy came up to me when it was starting and told me it was misfiring and that my spark plugs could be on wrong. I think he was right.

I think he was right as well...
I'm not fully sure about the colour of the wires; mine are all black.
On your coil units, they should be labeled something as T1, T2, L1, L2
Connect accordingly!
Remember: Leading Lower, Trailing Top.
1: is forward rotor housing
2: is rear rotor housing
3: What did you do to get this?
