coils not firing

I have a 95 maxima and I just changed all 6 spark plugs and ignition coils to brand new ones because i had 1 misfiring in the rear. Now that I changed them over I now have 2 misifiring in the rear but not in the same spot as b4. What could be the reason behind that?

plugs not gaped properly or are not NGK. Coils are aftermarket and the car does not like them.

coils brand is Wells and spark plugs are NGK. I doubt the wires are mixed up because they are coil packs

Our cars don't like aftermarket coils. Return them and find a used OEM set.

Is there a way to check if the harness is bad? Or maybe the mass airflow sensor? Because people say that could be some reasons since my MAF sensor is bad i kno but not sure about my harness
