It isn't likely that anyone is going to be able to make a correct guess over the internet as to what shorted first. You are going to have to search it out. So, check if the main cable is fried all the way to the starter.

This is pretty bad. I've never seen the main ground wire get that hot? Its usually the live+ wire. You have to pull the whole harness n uncover all the loom. Also if you just installed the plug per coil, start with that. I've mixed up on wire on my coil pack and also fried my harness.

I saw the wiring harness start to melt from the cam position sensor,so I replaced the engine wiring harness and the cam position sensor....btw I heard someone had the same issue as me too,but didn't melt as bad as mine. I had fix this problem for a month now and my car is still running fine.hope this will help you guy .

You probably had high resistance at a connection in the circuit and had a high amp draw leading to an over heat in a wire causing the wire to melt and catch fire...
In simple words that really sucks good luck!
