Preface: I am complete novice at electronics and this is my first project.

I am trying to connect two PCB together with a 10pin ribbon cable. The ribbon cables I made (and bought) are all showing continuity between pin1 on on end and pin 2 on the opposite end of the cable. Should not pin1 match (and have continuity) to pin1 on the opposite end of the ribbon cable?

I am assuming from my limited knowledge that pin1 on one PCB would have to match to pin1 on the other. Right now because of the pin assignments they are not and therefore no signal is going through <?>.

Am I right in my assumptions, or completely wrong? Any pointers or suggestions?

Thanks.

Edit:

Link to the cables I bought for testing purposes - which still show pin1 continuity to p2 at the other end.

I don't have data sheets - cables were bought off of amazon.

Pictures in onedrive link show cable attached to DMM and not attached, as well as the pins I'm trying to connect to from the two PCB.

Am I even using the right cables? If someone has a link to something I should be using (if I'm not, that would be great). Thanks agaain!

Thanks.
