orange and brown wire should go to the non-banded side of each coil. Brown-grey should go on the banded side. There's a single fuse that fuses both banks, so if your 4 bank works it's not the fuse.

Tried reseating A4J4 and the interconnect?

If you look at the diode on the coil, one end has a white stripe. That's the 'banded' side of the diode/coil, and is where the common high voltage (brown gray) line is connected. The other side is the one that goes to the driver board. Usually the banded side will have two wires since it's a common wire daisy chained through all the coils, while the non banded side will have only one wire. In this case since there's two coils together one of the non banded also has two wires.

1. Check the coil resistance
2. Check the diode, it may have shorted
3. Check for a short between the coil lugs and the drop bracket

In both your pictures the band is on the right side. As far as I can tell they look like they're wired right.
