all he needs is help to put this together like 5 mins....OK, so I am going to start off by saying since you don't know anytning about wiring you should have spent the extra money to purchase an already built light. However this wiring is pretty easy, just follow that image you put up. Black hooks up to all the outlets on the board that are labeled (-), the red goes to all the outlets labeled (+), just follow the markings on the driver. The White and blue wire set is for dimming purposes, tape those off with electrical tape if you do nit have a dimmer.

Look at the driver itself, I do believe they are labeled the other way. That is all I was trying to follow. But yes, just keep all like colors together and things will work.Um unless this doesn't follow wiring standards - black is always hot.
That's irrelevant if on the board end you have black and red wires. Just put all like colors in one wago and move onto the next.
The dimmer is installed on the blue/white wires.

Lets see if we can get through this together. From what you stated:
Outlet plug end:
Connect black and brown in 1 wago connector - looks correct
Connect white and blue in separate wago connector - looks correct
Connect green and green in separate wago connector
Pictures seem to show that your plug end is wired correctly
Moving to the other wires ....
Black is hot. Red is neutral.
Blue and white are your dimmer control wires
The red and black will connect to your boards and the blue and white will connect to your dimmer. If you get stuck, let me know ....
I can on to say the same thing .......
now your going to run a wago on the black and red and add wire to get to the light..... you can go up to 10 ft but you really only need a few ft of wire just to get the driver outside the tent....
the blue and white is for the dinner pod you never gave me a address to send to so you should run Both those qb's on 1 driver for Now so your not pushing 140w into 1 qb

wow......
In defense of the OP - I disagree. This is simple stuff and although at first attempt it can be confusing, for most it only takes putting 1 light together and they now how to do it until the end of times.
Even easy things can seem hard until we're put on the right track
I only suggest that because I find when I am confused if I have an example in front of me to reference I can figure out all the issues that were giving me problems far easier. Notice I then went on to offer help in how to do the wiring.In defense of the OP - I disagree.
