You can think of your "junction" collection points as being buss bars for this purpose. Also note the idea of the single fat wire out one side carries the total amps of the branch wires. That also applies to the neg wires. The shunt will need that--collection of thin wires at one end, and a fat wire (two in your case) out the other end to the battery.
The solar controller's pos wire to battery should have a fuse on it already being a kit? Anyway, same thing-- fuse for its own ampacity as a "branch".
Your idea to make a drawing of your set- up's wiring is a good one. You can then see better what is going on for "branches" and all that
