Rookie Team needs help with D-Link and arm design

We hooked up the D-Link to the power distribution board with a 12V to 5V converter in between as suggested in the diagram from the first website. However, the D-Link didn't power up when we plugged in the battery, and it smelled like the D-link burned up. We suspect we might have plugged it in backwards. But anyways would that be the right way to connect the D-link if we were to plug it in the right direction?

Also, we began designing our arm, and we came across this design.

What would be some of your suggestions if we were to go with this design?

Thanks
