I do not think that this is the issue here - as it has been reported that the issue is intermittent. If it was plugged in wrong then it wouldn't work at all. (EDIT: Assuming a normal floppy data ribbon cable and connector is used, and not individual Dupont cables!)
EDIT: In one of the pictures you can see a ribbon cable and connector is used. Although the end of the ribbon cable with the red stripe is not on pin 1, this does not matter if the other end is the same orientation - as long as pin 1 is going to pin 1, etc.
EDIT: In an A500 you typically find the floppy cable orientated this way - the red stripe is not on pin 1. This is to allow the metal shielding to fit properly.
