Default BMW e60 and Sirius Fiber optic help

I have bought the Sat receiver, installed it in the trunk, plugged in and antenna hooked up...

I am just waiting on the cable from Bimmertech, but one small problem. My fiber optic are not even close to any of the examples.

On the upper connector I have one loop in the first position and nothing else.
On the lower connector I have the loops set up in positions 3-5.

Would anyone happen to know if I could move the position 3 over to 2 and plug in there?

Thanks so much for any pointers

I am attaching some instructions I came across of Sirius Retrofit for both E60 and E61. I am in the process of doing the CIC first. Then I will tackle the Sirius. I have the Sirius mounted and connected to the prewire kit - but the CIC doesn't see it. According to these directions I need to get to the MOST Junction box and move some Fiber cables in order to make it work. See attached. J

i found both of those sheets. My problem centers around page 3, all my fiber is not from spots 1 and over, rather they fill from position 3. I might just label them and try moving the first one over maybe do the instructions in reverse.

i don't think there can be any damage with the fiber, just errors or so I hope.
