Default HELP 3 way switch in bedroom

Had a 3 way switch for bedroom light. Found it would go on and then off by itself so something was wrong. I replaced the outlet and also bought new one of the 2 3 way switches. My brother was down here visiting and by the time he was done, we had power but no 3 way. I can turn bedroom light on and off but there is no 3 way. Anyone with the expertise to help can takeover. It is simple and yet I do not have a continuity tester.
I have POWER to the OUTLET but the two 3 way switches are not connected in any way to the outlet to control ON/OFF. I have to manually turn light on and off. So the wires on 3 way switches providing continuity are not in right place.

Thx
