I tried hooking up my LCD to TTL but it doesn't work

Could it be that the TTL is not functioning properly or is it the wiring. I took the LCD and it has this backpack on it.

In the picture there are two but our backpac has the female end to it. and it has GND, 5V and RX so I took at pwm cable and placed it inside those three holes make sure that the black goes to GND, red goes to RX and white goes to 5V. Than I took that pwm cable and attached it to a TTL chip, the one that came with camera. Then mounted that TTL chip on the TTL port. After all that I took kevin's code and downloaded, because according to the code the LCD is suppose to work automatically I assume. I see nothing

all blank no power nothing in LCD. Can someone please tell me where I possibly went wrong?
this is the LCD we are using:
