Red face Melted battery Terminal, starter wiring confusion, HELP!?

Hi everyone, me and a friend of mine just finished a clutch job on my 1983 944, and when we went to start her up, the positive battery terminal melted, and there was an unhealthy amount of smoke from the battery. Both battery wires were really hot.

We think we may have wired the starter incorrectly, does anyone have pictures of the starter that shows exactly where all the cables go? including the ones that go to the clutch bell housing or anywhere else.

Worst case scenario, what did we break? I'm kinda scared here.
