Default Replaced Plugs & Wires, Now something isn't right.

Basically what the title says, I've replaced the plugs and wires on my d15b with NGK plugs and vision wires. I know they are the correct ones. So during the install I did the dumbest thing I could have possibly done by removing all the wires from the distributor and not paying attention to which ones went where. This is how I currently have them installed and the motor's timing or something is messed up. It's running like crap.
HELP!!

Luckily for you, I just made the same mistake while replacing my head gasket.
