Default need help with coil brackets

ok im doing and head cam swap from a 98 perimeter to centerbolt getting ready to put the valve covers and coils on the brackets, i see how the coils fit maybe but instead of the lead for the wire pointing down the coils will only go on pointing toward the front or rear of the car, the wires i have are way too short and when mounting some of the coils have to be facing different directions but still look to close to get the wires on any one ran into this problem i need help i wanted to get the car done tomorrow the coil bracket bolts right up to the valve cover they are supposedly off a truck with a 6.0l
this is the only thing holding me up i thought i had everything before i started im pretty pissed now i want to have the car buttoned up for tomorrow night

a BIG TIA

Do not know what to tell you. I went from perimeter bolt covers to center bolt after the head swap and all my coil connectors point down and out.

did a some research today, apparently certain trucks have coils that are made different- they have an aluminum heatsink on them and they mount different looks like im off to dealer called this morning not in stock it takes them 2 days to get them, that will hold me up a bit i should be used to this by now but it never gets less aggravating the car will sit till tues or weds waiting for coil brackets
