Another spark plug question

On my mother's 3800 SII '99, I'm replacing the spark plug wires, and I think that when changing the plugs I messed things up. On the rear of the engine, is the sixth cylinder on the drivers side or passenger side? I noticed the plugs were out of order, and think that I may have swapped wires around :banghead:.

As you are standing on the passenger side of the car (by the right front tire) looking at the engine, starting from the cylinders closest to you, the rear bank is 2-4-6 . The front bank is 1-3-5.

Thanks, you just saved the day for me :).
Now, next question is, should I run the new wires through the corrugated plastic covering things? I noticed right away on the wire going to #2 that it had been chewed up a bit by something (fan blade maybe?), but is still running.

I would change the wire and to be safe use something to keep them away from the fans and exhaust, be it the plastic hold down attached to the valve cover or even a zip tie.
