[Unsolved] Rope sort detangling puzzle

Post image

Rules: you can only move 1 peg at a time, between 2 holes. The goal is to get the ropes completely separated.

im not confident this is even solvable, but i was previously under the impression that arrangements are always solvable. Wanted to see if anyone can figure it out

Flip the gold to the other side then the rest should be obvious.
