The end on the left is for the old-style distributor, points type. Isn't for your car at all.
The one on the right is what both ends of the wires for your car should look like.
Looks like you might have the wrong wires, if they all have one end like the left and the other like the right.

Yes those are more correct.
Be aware however, they are pre-cut to length, and might or might not agree with your exhaust system. There's basically no room for error.
