Default spark plug firing order for Telstar 2.0L

Trying to figure out if the plugs are attached in the correct order.
I can't find a photo anywhere of the correct order.
I can find references on the internet to 1-3-4-2.
I tried connecting them as 1-3-4-2, but perhaps I did it wrong as engine is shaking and making a lot of odd noise.

Attached if a photo of order I used, based on the sequence 1-3-4-2

wait a minute.... should 1-3-4-2 be the order of the plugs on the cap (yellow numbers)
And the plugs on the actual engine (red numbers) be 1-2-3-4 ?

Is that where I went wrong?

1342 on the dissy so you just need to know where number 1 is on the dissy and the rotation of the dissy to work it out from there,numbers on the motor should read 1234 left to right,should always mark numbers when removing/replacing leads.

never mind... found the firing order in the repair manual. Got it connected properly this time and it runs smoothly.
