From this pic, You can see the box has 4 connections, then 2 connections. You can take one of the connections from the box with 4 and desolder it off and solder it onto Box with two connections.

Oh yeah, another thing, Mike you mentioned you buffed out the Umnitza logo at top. While it's not exactly sightly, they are not really visible at all when you put them on. Just throwing it out there for people that may attempt this =)

Phil, I answered you via PM on Saturday about this. You DO have the right power boxes, you just wired them incorrectly. It's big ring and small ring to one white box, not 2 big ring to one box, and 2 small ring to one box. And yes, both the boxes are the same. There's no worry about power draw.

hey, you can fix that easily. U notice how you can see the connections in the box with two plugs right? take one of the plugs from one of the 4 box plugs, de solder the port and put it on the one that is missing it. Really simple to do. U just need a soldering iron. It'll take u headache waiting for the part.

Ahh, my mistake, I totally missed it. That is an odd defect, lol. But like Mike said, you can just do the soldering part in the meantime while waiting for the replacement from Umnitza to arrive. Then just swap it out when the replacement comes (if that makes you more comfortable).
