I'm trying to find the name of the product of this halogenation reaction

I thought it would be trans-2,3-dibromo-1-dichloro-cyclopentane, but apparently that's wrong. Does anyone know what the name should be?

You need a number for each subsituent.

And what substituents would I be missing? I thought I had the chlorines and Bromines accounted for.

I suppose 1,2-dibromo-3,3-dichloro-cyclopentane would be better

dichlorocyclo, no dash
