I'd suggest you go back to your original CSV file, open it in a spreadsheet and re-arrange the columns to suit the list given here:

You won't get a perfect match and may have to make some judgement calls about which columns correspond with which. Also bear in mind that Thunderbird only(!) imports the first 37 columns.

The only value I can see from the process you have followed out is that it will provide you with a list of the columns that Thunderbird's Address Book makes use of.
