On some diagrams I see that three rather than one wire connector is used when wiring up an STC 1000 i.e

So
1) the ground on the plug end doesn't go directly to the ground connector on the outlet. An extra wire is used with a wire connector (see green wires on that diagram)
2) the neutral on the plug end doesn't go directly to the neutral on the outlet but an extra wire is used with a wire connector (see white wires on that diagram)
I didn't do this
At the moment, I just connected the ground from the plug end DIRECTLY to the ground connector on the outlet and also the neutral from the plug end DIRECTLY to the neutral on the outlet i.e similar to this diagram

I don't know anything about wiring or electricity, but is it best practice or safer or preferable to avoid connecting the neutral and ground from the plug directly to the outlet connectors ?
Should it still work either way ?
