Default VVT Swap on Rev MS3 ~ No Start

Hey guys. Before I begin, excuse my ignorance because I am a noob.

I purchased my friends 1990 unfinished VVT project. He used the VVT Swap guide to wire pretty much everything. It's all controlled by an MSLabs MS3 from Reverent. The MS3 is able to connect to the Tuner Studio with no issue. I followed MSLabs instructions on setting up the general settings. I calibrated my TPS. My MAP line is connected. When I try to start the vehicle, it'll crank but won't start. Occasionally, a pop would come from the exhaust. But no start. The only addition to the setup are a set of Fab9 Coil on Plugs. Can anyone help out with some leads to whatever can be the issue ? I've included some photos of how I picked the car up.

When I click start in the Composite Logger portion, nothing shows afterward as I'm cranking.

$20 says the coil triggers are wired backwards.

It would look exactly like this. What can be a cause of it not seeing any signal whatsoever while I'm cranking. I did notice at one point while, cranking it was a quick flash of data lines then it went away and back to the blank graph

You need to press start. And then crank until it shows up. Hopefully it shows something or there's a LOT wrong.

check capture to log and then start.

you need to crank for like 20-30sec, so it's a good idea to turn off the fuel pump so youre not filling cylinders up with fuel.

Here is a screen shot of the composite log I just made. It's not allowing me to upload the actual file. I'll try to screenshot that as well
