Get cell index of repeating group to change on a list of jobs

I’ve got an array of waypoint from mapbox api, it has retrieved them, im trying to get them to match to the correct item in the row. if theres a different way to do this other than cell index id be happy to trying it a different way? i dont mind what way to do it, i just need to get it done
