Plug Wires From Coils To Plugs

I’m trying to make sure I have the spark plug wires on the correct plugs.

There’s 4 coils mounted on a bracket. The forward most coil wire goes to which plug? The second coil goes to which plug? Etc…

Can anyone help? Sorry, I’m just learning about the rotary engine. I’m assuming it matters like on any other engine? Will the engine run if the plug wires are on the incorrect plug?

It can, but you can seriously damage the engine.
It's critical to get it right.

Diagram above helps. I would replace one wire at a time to be safe. It's slower by mitigates confusion.
