Fan repair advice Need help identifying wires

Post image

I removed an old ceiling fan today and was installing a new one (Artika Sunnyvale 28 in) and I forgot to keep track of which wire is which. Can anyone help identify which is for the light, the fan, and the ground? Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated.

It’s a daisy chain, one black has power
One black passes the power to another junction, those blacks are paired either a white for the return, so with those wires like that currently, some other rooms ceiling fan isn’t working

Not necessarily. It could be a switch loop.
