I'm admittedly new to this so it's possible I'm just making a very stupid mistake but I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong. When I plug in the battery on my hexa copter - two of the motors immediately start spinning within about five seconds. Also it only happens when I'm plugging it in directly to the battery but not into my computer; when I am plugged into the computer with telemetry running I'm able to arm the multi copter but in this case the other four motors start spinning (but not the two spastic ones as usual). I wondered if perhaps I didn't calibrate the ESC's correctly or what else might've caused this. One thing I noticed it was interesting was that in the camera gimbal controls configuration when I change one setting, one of the motors started spinning as well - at any rate this is really strange I have already sustained a couple of injuries because the motors just start spinning when I'm not expecting them to. The copter says it's not armed so I don't understand why they would start spinning like that and obviously there's the problem of getting them to spin correctly when I'm arming it which they're not doing (again the opposite one spin for if it matters the two motors in question are six and three the front left one and the back left one, although on second thought it's also possible they may not have been plugged into the correct outputs as I haven't even reach the step in the set up). I had previously been using a different flight controller so I left most of the motors connected how they had been previously. Does anyone know what might be causing this

Fyi, I seem to have resolved this, some of the wires were crossed, (4 plugged into 5, 5 into 4 etc - not sure it was those specifically I just unplugged them all and did them one at a time. So idk what was causing the weird behavior but it seems to be fixed now.
