BMV 700 and Solar

Recently had solar installed to RV. I think they bypassed my BMV 700 by connecting negative cable from solar directly to battery negative (see photo). Is solution to move the negative from solar to the load side of shunt (bottom lug)? Thanks for advice.

Absolutely correct. The solar charger negative needs to move to the load side of the shunt in order to count the energy into the battery.
