Shapeoko Pro making horrible noise at first initialization

Just finished assembling the Pro and on initialization it moves to the front right. When it gets to the bottom right corner it starts to shake and make a terrible sound. I’m obviously new to this. Can someone give me some direction, please?

Sounds like the Y stepper motors are wired opposite. Swap the wires on the board and it should move right rear and home.

I swapped the Y stepper motor connections and it tried to initialize to the back right. However it does not find the Y limit switch.

Turns out, the limit switch was mounted too high. Once I lowered it everything was fine.
