Default 2013 XF AWD - New to changing a battery

Hi!

I am posting to hopefully gain help on completing changing my battery. I was able to get everything unscrewed and replaced myself but I genuinely forgot where to connect these wires. I am afraid to place anything in the wrong place! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration to help.

Well the small cable is the feed for the bms module so goes on the positive terminal (RED).
The heavy cable is the earth so bolts to the post you can see on the negative (BLACK) battery terminal.

I spoke to to soon - I just realized my locks do not work now. Is this a thing? It was working before I changed the battery. Now it makes a sound but doesn't actually lock any of the doors. The buttons on the doors does not lock as well :-(
