I had the same thing with mine, and to make it like clark designed it (throttle on left, steering on right) I THINK I swapped 2 & 4 but I'm not positive. It was just a simple swap, though, and then everything was the same way it is on clark's webpage. Your best bet is to get the tank up on a 4x4 or something so the tracks aren't touching the ground, just in case.
