The diode is correctly installed (band on positive wire), I am assuming your 16ga red wire on the solenoid coil is positive and the black is negative.

I just noticed two more issues.

You have an XCT Controller, so get rid of that resistor on the Solenoid big posts and add a 6amp diode in its place.

That big "Regen" diode will be installed with the band towards the pack positive cable.

The cable lugs should be on top of the metal tabs on the Controller, only the nut stays in the captive pocket.
