Boy, it sure would’ve been nice to figure this out before drywall. I have a book that shows all the different ways to wire a three way switch and I wasn’t paying close enough attention and the way I wired it is not in the book. There is a traveler between the switches. Is this fixable without having to run new wire? See attached. Thank you.

If the power is fed to the swich, you will need 3 cores plus ground between the switches.
