Category template for Custom Post type

Question

I have created a custom post type named "customer-stories", I was able to display the single page, but not able to display template for category template.

I want a Separate template for all the Categories. Right now its taking 404.php as the category.

This is in my functions.php:

function story_custom_post_type() {
    $labels = array(
        'name'                => __( 'customer-stories' ),
        'singular_name'       => __( 'customer-stories'),
        'menu_name'           => __( 'customer-stories'),
        'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Parent Story'),
        'all_items'           => __( 'All Story'),
        'view_item'           => __( 'View Story'),
        'add_new_item'        => __( 'Add New Story'),
        'add_new'             => __( 'Add New'),
        'edit_item'           => __( 'Edit Story'),
        'update_item'         => __( 'Update Story'),
        'search_items'        => __( 'Search Story'),
        'not_found'           => __( 'Not Found'),
        'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'Not found in Trash')
    );
    $args = array(
        'label'               => __( 'customer-stories'),
        'description'         => __( 'customer-stories'),
        'labels'              => $labels,
        'supports'            => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'revisions', 'custom-fields'),
        'public'              => true,
        'hierarchical'        => false,
        'show_ui'             => true,
        'show_in_menu'        => true,
        'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
        'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
        'has_archive'         => true,
        'can_export'          => true,
        'exclude_from_search' => false,
            'yarpp_support'       => true,
        'taxonomies'          => array('post_tag'),
        'publicly_queryable'  => true,
        'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'customer-stories' ),
        'capability_type'     => 'page'
);
    register_post_type( 'customer-stories', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'story_custom_post_type', 0 );
// Let us create Taxonomy for Custom Post Type
add_action( 'init', 'create_customer_stories_custom_taxonomy', 0 );
//create a custom taxonomy name it "type" for your posts
function create_customer_stories_custom_taxonomy() {
  $labels = array(
    'name' => _x( 'Category', 'taxonomy general name' ),
    'singular_name' => _x( 'Category', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
    'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Categories' ),
    'all_items' => __( 'All Categories' ),
    'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Category' ),
    'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Category:' ),
    'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Category' ),
    'update_item' => __( 'Update Category' ),
    'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Category' ),
    'new_item_name' => __( 'New Category Name' ),
    'menu_name' => __( 'Categories' ),
  );
  register_taxonomy('customer-stories-cat',array('customer-stories'), array(
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'labels' => $labels,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'show_admin_column' => true,
    'query_var' => true,
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'customer-stories' ),
  ));
}

I have tried taxonomy-customer-stories-cat.php, but not working. let me know what should be the file name and the php code inside the file.

Thank you.

Have you tried resetting the permalink back to plain, if not please try it then refresh the category page?
