Update to dc/dc converter install
The new Dc/dc converter that goes between the alternator/chassis battery and the lithium batteries needs a starter wire to operate. I am assuming the 18ga wire connects to the top of the battery isola...

It looks like you’ve got the connections right. The only thing I’d say is to make sure the circuit lengths as short as possible. On the input side of the Renogy unit, the circuit length will likely be quite long which will induce a voltage drop. But, by using the recommended wire size, it will be able to draw the needed amperage through the bigger gauge wires so the unit can boost the voltage on the output side.
Hopefully you can place the Renogy charger very close to the batteries it is charging, and keep the circuit length on the output side as short as possible. Inducing voltage drop on the output side would defeat the purpose of the DC-DC charger.
