HELP!! Starter cables

So I'm stuck on putting my starter bak together, I have 2 cables that look to be positive and I think they go one on top of each other. But idk if one is meant to be ground and one isn't.

They have a square type head and both have a red piece on the end but the actual cables are black. So both are black with red tip with metal head if that makes sense.

Do both go on together on the positive of the starter?

Your welcome. Glad to help a fellow fanatic.

Check your alternator voltage on the +B terminal when the car is running, just to check how well it is working. It should be between 13.5 and 14.5 volts. Just a suggestion so you have a reference for future testing and prevent battery damage. Just a little tip.
