Recheck your instalation.
Sounds like you are in limp mode, but that doesn't make sense cause all you did was change parts.
You need to charge your battery over night or replace it.

coils are universal, doesn't matter where you install them.
what is important is that the connectors to the coils be properly fastened in the appropriate order.
any CEL?
is the maf sensor plugged in?
did you unhook / unplug / remove anything else in order to access the coils?

Check your battery connections? You probably need a new battery, most people get 3-5 years out of a battery. Re check all your wireing on coils and plugs.

Dont be so negative. Have you charged the battery or replaced it.The car needs a fully charged reliable battery to operate, remember, because you had a dead battery, certain parameters will be reset and the car will not run smoothly for a few drive cycles.

Double check all you connections.
Coil input colors can confirm this.
1) Green coil input wire is Leading plug front rotor (bottom-front spark plug)
2) White coil input wire is trailing plug front rotor (top-front spark plug)
3) Yellow coil input wire is Leading plug rear rotor (bottom-rear spark plug)
4) Blue coil input wire is trailing plug rear rotor (top-rear spark plug)

Just realized you changed your plugs too, you got the right plugs and installed them in right spots?
As for the battery, please do more search, if you want. But from my limited knowledge, there's nothing wrong with it.
