Help! Drone not working

Hi. I am a beginner building my first racing drone. My drone has a naze 32 board and a fly sky 1a6b receiver. I have tried both cleanflight and baseflight but on both of them the receiver and the motors are not being recognized. Could you please give some advice to fix the problem.
 
What version of cleanflight are you on.
The naze32 is being cut from support. But have you selected rx ppm In configuration. Are you using just 3 wires
Ground, 5v,signal. Is the rx bound to the tx.

I am on version 2.0.3 of cleanflight. I have selected rx ppm in configuration on cleanflight and in the tax menu. I am using 3 wires and I have bound the rx to the tx.
 
Can you post a pic of your board setup.
Also have you setup your auxiliary switches. I have same Tx my arm is on SWD & modes is on SWC. SWD = channel 5 or auxiliary 1... swc =channel 6or auxiliary 2. Change these in settings on the Tx. So you want channel 5 on swd & 6 on swc.

Thank you I have now set up my auxiliary switches but problem remains.
 
This is an old pic I just had to dig for this.
This is how my naze32 was set up.
The pin layout is solderd different but it's the same. IMG_20161102_212710756-1024x575.jpg it's your quad but trim some of them wires before you have an accident.
 
To me it looks like your pins are on the wrong end of the rail.
Black on ground hole1
Red on V hole2
White on 1 hole3.

Be careful these boards are easy to fry, all boards are. One wrong short is money down the drain. Before you maiden it you need to get the failsafe sorted aswell.
 
If you flip my pic round to match yours they are on the opposite ends.
Have you got any tools to make adjustments? Soldering iron, heat shrink, Allen keys, side cutters, knife.
Big must is a multimeter if you get into this hobby.

Did you setup modes in cleanflight the right way.
Arm on aux1
Angle & horizon on Aux2
Then set the range for the switches.

The motors are not spinning in the motor section when I push the dials up. I think the escs are plugged in correctly. They are making noise when I plug them in. The graph on the screen is moveing slightly but the motors are not turning. Also it recognizes that there are four motors plugged in. Can you think of any obvious things I could have done wrong.




 
A couple things I see are firstly, those BECs have built-in BECs. The BEC provides 5 volt power to your flight controller BUT you only need one providing power. So the 3 wires going from the ESC for motor 1 to your flight controller are correct, but for motors 2, 3 and 4, you need to remove the red (positive) wire and only have the brown and yellow (negative and signal) from your ESCs to flight controller.

Secondly, you can program most things in Cleanflight with your flight controller connected just by the USB but to spin up your motors in the motor testing tab, you also need to have your battery connected. By your pic, it doesn't look like your battery is connected, correct?
