Thank you so much @Jinx, you were correct in the first sentence. I plugged in the wrong way 🤦, the led strip came rolled up on one way and I assume that the first part was the beginning and never look the arrows. My bad, totally.  
Thanks again, and the community for the patience.  
It works great now
