You need to get some male QD terminal ends and crimp one on each of the 5 wires. Attach the ground one end to the ground wire, and the other 4 to the up down left right wires.

If it is easier for you, you can swap in regular microswitches on the jlf. I believe that the Omron V series switches are recommended by people who do that mod.

 You just crimp some male terminals onto the JLF cable. Makes it plug and play with what you already have.

Anyone know which direction each color wire on the Sanwa is for?

Just pin out the wires using a multi meter ( Home Depot had cheap ones if you don't have one)
Just meter between each conductor and ground to figure which is which

Harbor Freight has an el cheapo meter for $5.  (~$3 if you catch them on sale)

I agree the Happ Competition is complete garage. It is literally the worst joystick\controller I have ever used in my entire life. The Atari 5200 joystick would be a better option.  It boggles my mind on why so many people think this is a good controller and will defend it and recommend it. Do these people also think McDonalds makes the best hamburgers? The controller is almost unplayable; forget about trying to pull off any moves in a fighting game. Have you ever tried playing a 4 way game with one of these forget about it.
Happ Perfect 360 is what you are looking for

I don’t have really any experience with the other joysticks so I don’t know if there is a cheaper option that will work as good as the Perfect 360.
