Wohooo they're working.

Well done
Your perseverance paid off!
Thanks for letting us know - not everyone comes back to confirm a problem is sorted, and it's nice to hear!

Before you put it all back together, there are covers missing off of that driver, and it is a requirement that the grey sheath of the mains cable enters under that cover, with none of the brown or blue wires outside of it.
As it is, it merits a C2 "unsatisfactory", or even a C1 "unsatisfactory", depending on how exposed the live terminals are, if discovered by someone carrying out an EICR on the property.

Hi,

I put the ceiling back together and it wasn't until then when I realised I had not put said covers back on the exposed wires you mention, I found the covers on my bed with the screws later. Luckly, I now know I can access my new transformer from the loft through the hole in the original ceiling. I intend to put them back on tomorrow on my day off, I'm worried it may cause a fire being near the loft insulation.

Many thanks for pointing that out and well spotted.
