Alternator 4 pin wire connector order

Hi all, working on my first alternator swap on my '11 TE. During removal, I almost disconnected the 4 pin connector improperly while the alternator was still installed - exposing the 4 wires(purple pink gray blue). Seeing that it was a tight space and I wasn't quite getting how to properly disconnect it, I paused on that and decided to finish disconnecting once the alternator was out. Consequently during removal of the alternator that connector snagged and pulled those four wires out of the connector.

I'm no stranger to soldering and assembling these connectors(despite my ignorance in disconnecting them!), but need a little help on which order the wires go in. Anyone have a lead on how I can find this out? The connector body has the 4 slots numbered, just need colors to match up with those numbers.

Also - if you're removing your own alternator and facing trouble with that bolt on the back of it, here's what I discovered: just because you can't see it doesn't mean you can't get to it. There's room under the exhaust manifold(with the shield off) to snake in a right hand holding a 3/8 ratchet with a 3" extension and an m12 socket, maneuver it into place, reach under the alternator from the pulley side with left hand and guide the socket squarely onto the bolt. Just have to "see" with your hands.

Appreciate any help available.
