I just received my Polygon topper (which I purchased from Dave at Southern Slots)  today and now have a better view of how this is wired.
The wiring colors that are written in the Happ Documentation you supplied refer to the TOPPER SOCKET side, not the harness side (which you must have also figured out since there is no yellow wire on the harness side). 
Your Harness looks the same as the one I have (with the exception that the four position Molex power plug has been cut off of yours).  So just to clarify ... with your Harness plugged into the topper ...
The HARNESS wring is as follows ... The RED wire is +12 Volts, The BLACK wire is Negative Common and the Orange wire is +24 Volts (just as you originally thought).  These are the loose wires without a plug in your picture.
I was amazed at how little current was being drawn for the ring light to operate. A Three amp power supply for the ring light is plenty.   Very impressive display on these RGB ring lights!  yes

Please keep us posted as to your progress.  wave

Thanks for the follow up!  I'm glad you verified the wire coloring.  You are correct about the harness colors.  Unfortunately for whatever reason, why i applied 12VDC 3amp to the rainbow lights, i got smoke.  Everything else worked, but i couldn't get the coolest part, the rainbow lights, to work.  Hoping to get a new circuit board or something to get this thing going eventually.

For the background lights, the ones that take the 24VDC, how many amps are you using to power those?

I don't have an answer for you YET.   I currently do not have a 24Volt power supply to test the back lighting, but I did order one today.
It will probably be at least a Week or so before I receive it.   I will post my findings once I receive my new supply.

Received my new bench power supply today ...

Here are the current readings for your Polygon topper ...

Ring lights:   12.5 Volts DC  700 mA (fully illuminated)
Back Lights:  24.5 Volts DC  600 mA

Please note that these measurements are for the Happ Polygon Topper that you currently show in this post. 

There are at least two different models of this Topper ...

The one like you and I have with the 4 large LED's mounted to heat sinks for back lighting, and large controller board with four connections to the ring light.  And the second type ...

The one like Pegasus shows in his "Polygons!" post with only a small USB based controller board, along with a ring of LED's for EDGE-Lit back-lighting illumination.

I like this style better -in this thread as they are easier to use and no need to worry about all the other.  If this member still needs a part, Determine what it is and I should be able to get it from a parts topper.  Only ask to pay shipping.  Thanks

That would be great, thanks for your help and CommTech's help as well.  I'm thinking all i need is the little PCB board that the wires plug into.  I think that is what i fried.  Sounds like i'm set on my power supply needs, as i was using one with 3 amps, but the greater amperage doesn't make a difference, right?

Pegasus, i'd love to take you up on the offer to get a replacement PCB board if possible.

Just wanted to send a public shout out to Pegasus (and the others who gave me advice)!  I was finally able to get my topper working.  I must've had a bad PCB board because once i got a replacement from Pegasus, it came right up.  I still have to find a 24V power supply to get the backlight working, but the LEDs around the frame were what i really wanted to get working, and it looks great!  Thanks again!!

Awesome!  I just bought one, hopefully it works for the backlight.  Thanks for the heads up on this.
