FBH dosing pump replacement

Hope someone can assist, dosing pump basically split apart with rust (and a bit of assistance from someone doing work under the car &#128545

leaving pump swinging on a rusted mounting and both hose pipes loose. Tied everything up, disconnected cable, tried to stem diesel loss, ordered replacement pump - and thanks to The Royal Mail taking weeks to deliver - and me not taking any pictures I can’t remember which pipe went which side! Looking from the back to front the cable is plugged into the left hand side - i.e. in bound. Now I’ve put the pipes back on and now I’m thinking I’ve put them on the wrong way (duh!) on the side where the electrical connector goes I’ve plugged in a pipe that had a green/yellow coloured band. I should have checked before wire tie everything together, but the light was going and needed to get finished. I’ve tested the FBH, the dosing pump clicks but the FBH won’t ignite - which would be case if I’ve put the pipes on wrong way. Anyone tell me, or should I just go and change them over?
