Default I did something stoopid. 88 944 fuse box help

I had it under control for a few days, then days turned to week's and now I'm screwed. I have a 1988 Porsche 944 N/A, had a nearby body shop repaint it and apparently they cut the wires to the hood washer nozzles to paint the hood. They twisted back together and covered the ends with electrical tape. So, one of a few things happened; I drove her home and upgraded the headlights and swapped out the radio. I attempted to go for a quick ride when there was smoke coming from under the hood. At first, I thought it was because I upgraded the headlights (which might be a factor), and then I found the wires fried from the fuse box to the wires to both hood nozzles.
The issue is this now, I have done some wiring repaires, but after removed the top part of the box, and removing the fuse blocks to their individual sections, I may have accidentally swapped the individual sections and put them in the wrong order for 2 of the blocks. That's 8 individual section's. I'm trying to find out what order they are

supposed to be in and/or get a wiring diagram with the break down of the color codes. I haven't started the engine and the battery was disconnected prior to me making the repairs. Any help appreciated. There's a picture I have of the fuse box that I found (not mine), that gives an idea of what I'm looking for. I'm at my wits end and about to throw money at it to get it done at a Porsche repair shop. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

The connectors are coded (with tabs on the side) so you cannot install them incorrectly.

Correct.

By the way, the idiots who cut your wires to paint the hood need some cognitive realignment.
