Misc Electricians GTFIH (Tradies needed)(Reps)

Want to update some outdated light fixtures in my hallway so I bought the linked led recessed lights. They're pretty plug and play but the only issue that I am having is where to connect the ground? The existing metal junction box has the standard green screw which makes sense but this light doesn't have anything in the junction box or on the light itself. Not even the instructions mention the ground wire coming from the power supply.

Pls help, don't want to burn down my dogs residence

You have a pending ban bet. Go take care of that.

Extremely low risk without a ground brah. LEDs don't fail as an open circuit like filament bulbs. Black to black, white to white, flip the switch, enjoy the light.

EDIT: full disclosure, not a tradie.

Alright this is what I did and obviously it worked but I didn't want to cut any corners if I didn't have to.

Don't hook up the ground. There is virtually zero chances of you electrocuting yourself with that recessed light.
