Wire in series. Use a high power, quality iron... 80w was recommended to me as a minimum, but I'm sure it could be done with less. Heat the stars only as long as necessary... its possible to overheat and damage them. Use rosin core solder for the best bond. Make sure you don't have any shorts, which can happen easily if you use screws to hold the LEDs to your heatsink like I did. I used plastic washers to eliminate that issue. Be sure to adjust the internal trim pots (look like plastic screws) in the meanwells so your current is 1000mah or less. Make sure you have a decent multimeter for that.
I'm in RI as well if you needed help some time.
