    When you fix the 4th driver next to the others, note the colour of the wires to the other motors and repeat in the same order for the 4th. You have probably realised the cable from the motor is to short, not a problem as it allows you to introduce a four way plug and socket and then a suitable length of cable to the driver, thus allowing the 4th to be removed away from mill when not in use.

    The Plug.

    Now you can plug in the 4th axis ALWAYS turn off power before removing or inserting the 4th axis cable. The driver will last much longer that way.
    Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.
