Motor Test doesn't correspond to proper motors

Hello all, I just assembled a X8 octa-quad with kore board and flashed AC 3.6.6. I have the ESCs plugged into the following locations.
Motor 1- Main 1
Motor 2- Main 3
Motor 3- Main 2
Motor 4- Main 4
Motor 5- Main 5
Motor 6- Main 6
Motor 7- Main 7
Motor 8- Main 8

I have the following parameters set.

Servo1_Function - 33
Servo2_Function - 35
Servo3_Function - 34
Servo4_Function - 36
Servo5_Function - 37
Servo6_Function - 38
Servo7_Function - 39
Servo8_Function - 40

But when I run the motor test the following motors spin according to the diagram.

Is this right?

This way:
Motor 1- Main 1
Motor 2- Main 2
Motor 3- Main 3
Motor 4- Main 4
Motor 5- Main 5
Motor 6- Main 6
Motor 7- Main 7
Motor 8- Main 8

Servo1_Function - 33
Servo2_Function - 34
Servo3_Function - 35
Servo4_Function - 36
Servo5_Function - 37
Servo6_Function - 38
Servo7_Function - 39
Servo8_Function - 40

Motor test:
Top front right 1st then the bottom front right and around CW in this pattern.

I am using the Kore combo board from Spektreworks. The ESC pins are located in the corners of the board for easy and clean wiring. I have everything hooked up according to the directions in the manual. I am hoping to leave the ESCs plugged into their current pins and remap if needed. Does the mismatch in the motor test mean its wrong for certain?

Maybe double check that the FRAME_CLASS = 4 (for OctaQuad) and FRAME_TYPE = “1” (for X)

Randy, That was the problem. It was set to Frame_Class=3.

Working good now. Thanks!
