Extruder & Heatbed cable mingled up causing extruder movement jammed

Hi

I'm having issues with the cables on my new printer Prusa i3 MK2. Sometimes the Extruder cable and the one from heatbed got mixed up that causing jam the movement of the printing head (extruder). See pictures below.
Did I arrange the cables wrong? Let me know. Thanks!

From your pictures, you seem to have missed out the cable ties affixed to the case of the Rambo board that secure the cables in the right orientation with respect to each other. (the holes in the case above the hotend cables and the heatbed cables should have a cable tie inserted, to secure and fix the cables) Also has your hotend assembly wrapped cable got the 3mm nylon filament stiffener installed correctly?
