It looks like you have the dim wires connected to a wago along with the output wires for the leds, is that correct?

I see it now, they used a bit of shrink tube to mark things, attach the wires to the pot. Negative to 0 and positive to 10

I attached the negative to 0v and positive to 10v but it's not working. The boards are running at full power and the dimmer is not doing anything, no matter if I use the remote control or the knob :(

I've seen tons of people using these dimmers on reddit and forums. Even on Alibaba there are a lot of sellers who sells quantum board kits with a remote control dimmer exactly like the one I bought. There is no reason for it to not be working...

Look here, all of the kits use the exact same dimmer... https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fs ... 288+dimmer
