Super noob driver wiring questions

Heyyyy,

So I'm sitting here ALMOST FINISHED making this beast of a lighting setup. 12 citizen clu-048 1212's on an angled aluminum frame with three HLG 185H-C1400A drivers. The entire project, finding all the components and learning as I go took me weeks. I've managed to wire all the cobs to their drivers, but now I'm sitting here confused with what to do with the brown/green/black driver leads.

I bought some WAGO connectors I thought looked neat after watching Growmau5's videos. I see how he wires three drivers together in one of his vids, but I'm confused because then I have no ends to put into a plug and he didn't delve into that portion (likely because its so fucking simple that people don't need help). I was hoping to be able to wire my drivers together to have only one plug for the entire fixture. Is that safe?

Help! I have zero fucking electrical/shop knowledge. ELI5. Thanks :)

Not exactly sure I'f this is safe to wire there drivers together, but u would need a 4-5way wago so you would have the extra wago hole on each positive, negative and earth leads to tie into the mains power socket.

I have 5-way WAGOS!

So i tie all the same ones together, and then attach a wire out of each wago to the plug?

take your three wagos and connect the power cord to those three and you have power to plug into the wall
