Starter wiring

So I replaced my starter on my 97 lumina 3.1 engine. Well I took pics of it and when I go to put the cables back on the starter I see the positive and negative cable. my question is on the starter do the negative and positive cable but do I put them on the same stud on the the starter solenoid? I'm asking bc when I did yesterday the lights came on in the car but when I took it back off after the battery sparked I put it back on but put the negative cable on a different part of the engine. When I went to install the battery I put the positive cable on first and when I went to put the negative cable on it sparked but got no lights inside the vehicle. Can anyone tell me what to do because the only reason I say they are meant to be on the same stud is because the holes are the same size and that's the only place they fit perfect. I just need clarification about what I am missing regarding the wiring. Thank you.

The pic I posted is a picture I took of it before I ever started working on it the top stud is the one I'm referring to.
