Default TB issue

Last night I tried to install the throttle body and I got the bolts off and everything. But when I put the new one in I realized that the part that has those 3 connections to those wires that pull the throttle open and closed is upsidedown. The part looks exactly the same as my stock one except it is on backwards so those pulling wires won't cconnect to the TB.
Is there any way to take that apart and turn it around?

the black piece you're talking about is the TPS, and did your new TB come with a new TPS or did you put the old one on there?

If a TPS is that black sensor thing then no I am not talking about that. I'm talking about the thing on the opposite end that rotates the circle disc in the center when those wires are pulled on. That part is on backwards
