It seems like with the circuitry and resistors already in place on the factory USB-C ends it would be a simple strip and solder job on the corresponding wires, but wanted to check with wiser minds here before trying.

I’ve tried to connect all the wires by matching their colours but I’ve plugged it in and it still doesn’t work. Since there are three red wires I wondered if the order they are reconnected in matters. I am an amateur and don’t really know what I’m doing so any advice would help out.
