What wires do I connect is each screw?

I've connected the wires in the same positions as the old board and it works!

Just to help who wants to buy in Aliexpress, I've bought the item below and it worked fine. No soldering iron invoved. Just deattach and put in the same position of the original power supply.

Universal 150w Switching Power Supply 36V 4.2A led Driver ac 110/ 220V to dc 36V transformer ac dc converter (S-150-36)​


US $10.16

I’m trying this out and it seems like it’s working, but after the light turns on it turns right off. Any ideas? Put the LRS 150-36 on the 115 setting and attached wires in same positions. Radion is Gen2. Doesn’t seem to damage the light. LED on top goes red then orange then off. When the LED is orange the pucks light up and produce decent light. This same light does just fine on another power supply.
