Default Mechanically Vandalized

Hi all, my 03 v6 was vandalized while parked in a hotel parking lot last night. They tore off the fiberglass cover running along the top of the drivers side door to gain entry and stole my stereo/sub/amp and the other contents in the car, but apparently that wasn't enough. They then went about making sure my mustang wouldn't run. Spark plug wires, hoses, relays/fuses and more were removed/unplugged etc.

I've put it back together as best as I could, but its running very poorly and I have no money for a proper mechanic. I put the spark plugs back 1,2,3,5,6,4. Is that correct? It feels like it may be firing incorrectly. I don't know what else to check.

Why don't they just make them all in order?

Ok, got it running better now, thanks. Shifting feels different now, not sure how to explain it. I hope nothing major is wrong there.

Anyone know what the fiberglass body piece is called on the roof that runs right above the door glass? Trying to look up a replacement part for it as they broke mine into 3 pieces removing it to break in.
