This is so important please could you post a better picture so those 'in the know' can confirm the wiring is actually correct for you.
I agree completely. I took some new photos, moved the wires to get a better view, and also annotated them. I left the same pics un-annotated so you can see. Please let me know what you think!

I ran some additional tests. I reconnected the light and I ran 2 tests. I'm interested to see what you think about my conclusions.
The voltage I measured with one lead in the water and the other into the earth directly. A DC measurement showed 0 while an AC measurement showed roughly 20V. So to me this means it's VAC not DC. I also included a picture of the transformer inside the hot tub control board and also a copy of the circuit diagram for fun too.
I wanted to know how much current was leaking so I had one lead in the water and the other in the earth. I tried the 10A amp option first it read nothing, then I went to the 200mA option input and with the DMM on the 200u it showed 11.1.
Does this mean it's an 11uA shock at 20V? I am concerned this isn't an accurate reading because the DMM is in parallel with the light circuit which is still connected and I'm not sure how I could measure this otherwise. If I measured the light circuit directly it wouldn't account for the significant loss in conductivity due to the water.
If you have suggestions for how I can accurately access the voltage and amperage, or if my conclusions aren't accurate.
