You may have started from the wrong end.
You can reload a savegame from before going down the vault and try again.
Otherwise you must work your way through the puzzle until you get it right.
When standing in front of a console you can see by the lit and dimmed lines what will be changed when using the console. You must end up with all being lit.
I know. The walkthrough specified where they were and that's what I followed. And I don't have a save game previous to the first time I tried it. It's beginning to look like there's no way to finish this vault.
You have nine autosaves. Unless you continued playing for some time after this one of these should be old enough. But as I wrote you can still solve this puzzle. Just try different consoles see what happens and eventually you can figure out the right sequence.
It took me a couple of minutes the first time before I figured out that only the two on the right needs changing (on my second playthrough). The outermost first.
Not sure how it is outlined in the walkthrough you used, but pretty sure the sequence is random (not sure though) so a fixed solution will not work. For me I remember it sometimes only needing a few clicks and sometimes a lot more (might have messed up though on that one).
In case you did not notice what the mechanic is, each console toggles the setting of itself and it's neighbors.
