Hello, I need some help wiring a dimmer switch and outlet to 3 light fixtures. Attached is a picture. There’s a set of wires coming from the right, very top and left side of the board from each light fixture. These go to 3 vanity light fixtures. I’ve gotten the lights to turn on but the dimmer switch won’t control on/off nor dim. Any help is much appreciated. Ps. I’ll be running to the store tomorrow to get wire to ground. If you could provide me with a wiring diagram that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hard to see how you have connected it can you do a rough sketch of your wiring. The dimmer switch connections appear to be incorrect.

It could be a slave switch where you would have a L in and a common wire out to a master switch.
