if u went so far as to take the end with the bushings off, looking now, is the bolt where u connect the cable like 45 degrees from the original position?
maybe you rotated the end plate when reassembling or something where the bushings are in a different position.

Battery terminals switched?

the positive cable that attaches to the starter is in the correct position, i did mark the housing as to reassemble same way & no battery was not touched when i removed starter....im baffled
