You need four separate connector blocks...

The Green & Yellow Earth wires all connect together

The three Red live wires all connect together and to nothing else

The Black wire coming back from the switch (should have a Red sleeve on it to show it's live when the switch is on) connects to the Brown wire to the lamp and to nothing else

The remaining wires - two Black Neutral wires and the Blue wire to the lamp all connect together.

If you can't identify the Switched Live (black with a red sleeve which comes from the switch) do not guess - just call in a sparky and stay safe...
