correctnegatives to common, and left n right to left and right. sorry about the cord man

well I just ruined a 25 ft rca to 3.5mm cable... at one point I had the right speaker working but that was it.
So I need to:

Connect left to the entire wire of brown, connect right to entire green wire, and connect both negatives to the black ground? weird how I only had one side working, maybe it was because the rca wires were like 26 gauge...but where do i find better wires?

why would i have only had one side working? because the wires in the cord were too thin? idk what went wrong
