It would be better to label your wire pairs and cables (PWM, CAN, sensor) at both ends. Colour coding can be used to identify wires and groups of wires with similar functions.
Yes the hinging will happen while the wires are connected. It is hard to see but there is a L shaped hole that allows for the wires to pass through. When the top board rotates on the bolt the L shape allows for extra room for the wires to shift.

As for the color coding goes the 3 wires currently that are the same are the white wires. on both ends of the wires are small colored zip ties. ex(PCM has a blue zip tie on both ends and the VRM has green zip ties)
