My extruder loom is red-blue-green-black at the Duet connector, and black-red-green-blue at the stepper looking from the underside. If yours has been incorrectly wired at the Duet end, it should be a simple matter to remove those 2 pins from the housing and swap them over.

Yeah I had a similar issue with my Z-Axis loom where the red and green wires was moved over by one pin, I am glad I checked everything before plugging it in.
Now if I rushed it like RS tech people that say you can build the printer in 2 hours (load of rubbish talk) it may of broken something.

All stepper motor looms are wired the same both ends of the cables, but please note that the X Axis loom (the duet end) is plugged in the other way around (look at the image below)



If plugged in all the same way round the X Axis will be reversed and when homing the X axis it will move out and hit the end.
