Straighten the wires by pulling them against a pencil or pen.

Line them up in the correct order and hold them close between thumb and forefinger.

Cut the ends to be the same length.

Then attach the connector carefully. Pushing the cables against the top or bottom a bit as you insert them should help keep them straight.
