Default Help with spark plug wires

1999 audi a6 quattro
I changed my spark plugs and wires today and was very careless. I installed the wires based on the numbers on the engine and on top of the engine. I matched up 1-1, 2-2 based on the engine numbers 1,2,3 and 4,5,6 and the numbers on top of the engine 1,2,3 and 5,4 6. Now the car won't start. Did I do the wires right? Please help. Thanks!

Can someone please check their spark plug wiring? I know the firing order is 143625 and I have a photo of the cylinder and coil pack as well on the markings on the car. Is it coil pack 1 connects to cylinder 1, cp2 connects to cylinder 2 and so on? I don't know how to figure out where to connect based on firing order. A little help please. Thanks

Thanks. That is how I have the wires hooked up. Coil 1 goes to cylinder 1 and so on but the car won't start. I must have screwed something up. The check engine light comes on when starting but there are no stored codes. The only thing I disconnected was the MAF as I was checking all the plugs.
