At each junction, cut the wire, and strip both ends. Put the socket in. Test it for each lamp, it's parallel for a reason. If the lamps illuminate, use a wire nuts, twist firmly until you cannot anymore.
At the end, just strip the end and tie it to the socket. You then close the circuit. Plug into the wall and test again.
Then, attach the sockets to the board. Using a stapler, or tape, tape the wires on the back of the board. Then cover all wires on the bottom of the board with electrical tape or duck tape.
Lower the board into your setup, or clamp it to the edge. Be creative here. Use L brackets in the walls if you like.
Hope you try this. It'll cost 20 bucks. Worst case you toss 20 bucks away (but you're on a cp forum and have probably spent some money on a fickle plant so it's not a new thing) and you learn something. Best case, it works and will color your plants up nicely.
