Wire the first light to the power source and the cable leading to the next can. There should be three black wires together, three white wires, and three ground wires. Cap the connections with wire nuts. Continue connecting the fixtures until you reach the last one.

Hire a professional, your all wrong in the way you did this. You should be switching the hot (black) and carrying the neutral through.
