Do you have more photos of the actual connection process? Like before and after installing the adapter?

No, but installing the adapter itself is exactly the same as installing an M.2 SSD. Afterwards you treat it the same as regular SATA ports in a PC. You connect the SATA data cables to the HDDs and the adapter, and provide power to the HDDs. Power is not handled by the adapter, this is what the DC 12V/5V converter is for.
Does this help you?

It’s a good explanation. I don’t have a spare laptop to attempt such engineering madness, lol.
