Narrative:
On oct/thu/01, aircraft was in ZZZ for 'C' check. Inspector XXX wrote up 5 cables for corrosion. At the end of late night shift, I was asked to work 4 hours over and help finish 'C' check. I received nrc (non-routine card) #XXXX 'spoiler system requirements to be rigged also reference YYYY, ZZZZ, WWWW and abcd.' to the best of my knowledge, I verified cable tensions and pick up and lay-down on spoiler panels. I did not check routing of cables because the installation was bought off on above reference nrc's. It was brought to my attention by my supervisor that on day oct/tue/01. Inspector in ZZZ wrote up cables WSA1-2 and WSA2-2 were crossed. Aircraft was in ZZZ for time change on spoiler mixer.
