The blue positive wire from the converter is usually with a ring terminal on the end, attached to the front of the panel at the top middle nut and bolt, where you show nothing on yours. It might be on the back. Blue wire shown at the bottom going up somewhere. EDIT- the wire in the photo going to that top terminal at the back looks black not blue? There is a blue wire below in the middle of the panel way behind there that looks like the right one.
Where are you putting the neg on your meter to go with that positive terminal to get 13.8v? Since the two battery lugs show zero volts, it might mean the converter's white wire is not screwed into the back lug behind the front neg battery lug. You see a white wire there but it seems to go by the front lug to where? Is it loose?
If the positive path on the panel between that top converter terminal and the battery positive is broken somehow, you can put the blue and white converter wires in the battery lugs with the battery wires. Not sure if that by-passes the two reverse polarity fuses though. Better not to do that if you don't have to.
Are the two RP fuses ok? That's the two green 30a ones by that top terminal
I don't know if they are blown if you can still get 13.8v at the top terminal, but not at the battery lugs.
