The syntax is:  ln -s TARGET LINKNAME

I.e. you specify the existing thing first, and the name of the link that
you want to create last.

If you need a mnemonic, this is just like cp.

$ cp ORIGINAL NEW

creates NEW as a copy from ORIGINAL. Similarly,

$ ln -s ORIGINAL NEW

creates a link NEW pointing to ORIGINAL.
