Re-assigning extruders to saved/downloaded 3MF file

I'm new to the Prusa world, multi-extruders, and PrusaSlicer. I'm hung up on what I think would be a simple process...

I have a model that I have downloaded in 3mf format. It has a colour scheme already setup in the multi-material painting settings. 

I want to utilize the provided colour scheme. My problem is I have the colours loaded into different extruders than the downloaded 3MF file. Same colours but  different order. I would think it is possible to re-assign the colours without having to physically re-load the colours in the order prescribed in the 3mf file. 

For example:

the multi-material painting is set up as:
extruder 1 - black
extruder 2 - white
extruder 3 - red
extruder 4 - blue
extruder 5 - grey

My printer has the filaments currently loaded as:
extruder 1 - white
extruder 2 - red
extruder 3 - blue
extruder 4 - grey
extruder 5 - black

Is there any way to modify the multi-material painting settings without re-painting the model or reloading all of my filament?

My apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I've tried a plethora of searches and can't see to find anything to point me in the right direction.

You can changeup which software-tool goes to which hardware-tool during the Tools Mapping step on the LCD when you're starting a print.

Like they show in this video but instead of Spool Join you'd select Replace and just do that for all 5 tools.
