Drive unit power cables

Replacing the drive unit power cables on this one. Looks to be they were replaced at some point before and I'm not sure they were routed/secured correctly. These drop into the top of the drive unit and must move as the unit is turned. Replacing due to cable jacket rubbing off on the cables. Any photos of correct installation and/or information on precautionary measures to avoid the same problem in the future would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There is a plastic sleeve where the cables go through the upper drive unit. Those cables are mainly stationary, but they do twist and pull a little bit where they come out at the top. No photos can be uploaded on this forum *

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
