If you didn't take a high-res picture of the assembled parts you may need an identical unit to determine what goes where. Usually it's straightforward, as one outside pin is ground, the opposite is 5v and the data lines are in the middle. Here are the pinouts for the connector.

LOL, that's why there are so many pads! I have a cold and am a little slower than usual today. That and I'm just stupid.
