Default Ignition module installation

Hello all, so I have a new ignition module coming my way through the mail. I am planning on re-pinning the Deutsch connector to (hopefully) make for an easy install. My question is what color stock wires go to what? I tried looking in the manual that I have but it only shows the color codes for up to a 97. My new ignition module has the color codes for the module itself, I’m just sure that the colors are not the same as the ones on my bike.

not much to go on.
when i added aftermarket to my machine, i spliced into the original harness with sealed solder connections and plugs, this way, i can plug and play both stock and aftermarket which did work out when the aftermarket went south.
there is a little trick to sealing the un-used connectors.
wiring schematics are on the harley sip site. helps to know what you are installing.

Sorry if this sounds confusing...

so today I installed the ignition module. It hooked up to the pink (rear spark plug), purple (voes), and white (front spark plug) wires. There is no wires from the ignition module that connect to the stock black and green wires. There was no wire to stock ground wire from the ignition module(because the module is grounded through the housing) so I’m just going to cap that one off for potential future use. The other (green) is the wire that goes to my Bank angle sensor. but there is no bank angle sensor wire from my ignition module.

what can I do with that green wire? Cap that off as well?! It started just fine without it, I just don’t want to run into any problems in the future.
