A whole bunch of Solenoid issues.

I'm a rookie programmer with team 2521, I've never used LabVIEW before this season, nor been on a team until this season and am pretty much self taught. I know that I wired the solenoid and pneumatics breakout correctly.

-The pneumatics breakout is in module 8 on the cRIO.
-The solenoid wire is plugged into the breakout, white to negative, red to signal.
-The wire is plugged into the solenoid, white to negative (1), red to positive (2).

My two problems are this.

1) The solenoids are always open at default, is there any way to change this?
2) When I use the third button on the joystick plugged into USB 1, nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I included my solenoid code below.
