The mains adapter has a voltage select switch underneath, what are the settings,? and the centre pin is usually Positive which will have a White stripe on the wire.

Adapter to the +/- 12V input, then the 5V output to the breadboard .

this is how that breadboard power supply is used. These are lower power I would not pull more than couple hundred mA.

the DC-DC power supply looks like it will supply more current but you will likely need a beefier 12/24V supply to utilize 5V@10A.
