    Already made the same mistake.

    The pin order around opto and triac must be mantained to keep driving properties.
    Pin4 -> resistor -> Gate
    Pin6 -> mains

    Pin6 if i remember can be connected either to A1 or A2 in parallel but be mains feeded
    (Please correct me if im wrong, fuzzy memory right now)

    Anyway I always base my triac-opto design on this schematic:
    (no snubber there, I use triacs with integrated snubber)
