Thank you ! I think I got it. Does this look right to you? I have 2 fixtures on 1 driver.

That sketch shows the driver being shorted out, don't wire this way.

No, your diagram is not correct and it doesn't matter how many fixtures (or LED Strips) are attached (up to the Meter's max Amp rating)

Positive (+) from the LED Driver is wired to all the Positive (+) of the LED Strips (and or Fixtures) and to the "Green (or White) Voltage Sensor wire" of the Meter.
Negative from the LED Driver is wired to the "Heavy Black" wire of the "Amp" Meter then "Heavy Red" Wire of the "Amp" Meter is wired to Negative (-) of all the LED Strips (and or Fixtures).
Note; The "Amp Meter" is measuring the current flow in the Negative (-) wire only, in-line between the LED Driver (-) and the LED Strips(-)...
