Well worth the price!

Just glad to hear you've figured it out.

Disregard that last private message I sent you. I had the output wires switched. Thank you so much for all your help. ATX power supplies and new heated bed were super hard for me to tackle at the same time.

You need to measure when it should be heating to see which lead is positive and which is negative for SSR as it now matters while it did not with the bed. You then connect the ground of the power supply to one of the beds terminals. The other bed terminal goes to one of the SSR output terminal. The other SSR output terminal goes to the positive terminal of the power supply. You preferably want to use a secondary power supply for this setup as its purpose is to take a large load off your primary supply.

I've tried to wired it every which way and am having no luck.
