Default 2007 FXDL Ignition Issue

Hello, I recently snaked my control wires through my bars. Once done I put bike back together and tried to start it. The bike will crank but won't turn over. I checked the plugs and I am getting no fire (used a spark tester).

I'm scratching my head as to what could have caused it, everything is insulated and nothing should be grounding to the frame. I remember I accidentally plugged in the Brown//White wire (right turn signal) into the Black/White wire (starter switch:engine stop run) and flipped cranked the bike (See screenshot of wiring schematic). Could this have caused ignition coil issues or worse, ECM issues?

When key is turned on all electronics come on, when I flip to run the fuel pump comes on, when I hit start the bike cranks. Just no fire.

Yes mistakes were made but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does bike have a tachometer, and does it register RPM's at all when you're trying to start it?

It was. I had a B1122 diag code. I assume from the wires done wrong. I cleared the codes. I checked all fuses and they were fine. I replaced them just in case, unplugged and plugged security system in, got new plugs. And the bike started right up. Not really sure what was going on but it seems fixed as of now.
