throttle grip

HI all..

Have a question that might seem elementary to many but has me a bit confused.
I just purchased a 99 zx7r and it has a bit of a throttle problem. Being that the throttle grip won't return to 0 without me manually moving it there. I opened up the kill switch housing and I have two throttle cables. One to open the butterflies and the other is just static. I'm not sure what the other cable does, and no I don't normally wrench on my own bikes but this seems like it should be rather simple.

My assumption is thus;
The moving cable is the throttle cable and should be attached to the back of throttle grip in it's own groove.
The static cable should wrap around the underside to the front of the grip to it's own cable notch and they feed out of the same hole to the inside bottom of the kill switch housing.
This is how I have it setup and when I close everything up the grip still sticks.

Can anyone point a blind man in the right direction?
