Your schematic shows 6 coils, 6 caps and no resistors.
Your board appears to have 3 coils, 3 caps and no resistors.
I see what appears to be huge value caps 12,000 and 33,000 µfd.
This went wrong before the parts even arrived.
It looks like you are ready to start again with the correct parts and following the schematic.
Did the drawing come from the Omni crossover design application?
I hope the members are able to get you turned around on this one.
There will likely be many questions coming your way.
I have moved this over to Multiway forum so it gets more attention.

I have searched on Google crossover calculator and I put the value that I needed and start to build the midrange but I have run into a problem that ocurs when I connect the negative charge or cable to the positive
It start to clip at low frequency but no distortion can be heard I tested on a markaudio maop 11 speaker
I was unable to move it from here over the Multiway but I think it's a good idea to start a thread over there so more people see it.
As Cal mentioned, those caps are wrong value. But not only that, they are wrong type.
The electrolytic caps you installed are used in power supplies to smooth out dc voltages. They are not suitable for ac signal (music).
For crossovers typically bipolar electrolytic capacitors are used, for bigger values. For smaller values, like in tweeter section, mp caps are used.
The calculator for C4 and C5 shows 11.xxx uF and 34.xxx uF values.
The period "." is used to indicate decimal point, not a separation of 1000s. This is common notation in US and England e.g. which is contradictory to many European countries. I suspect that may be why the photo shows 12000 uF and 33000 uF caps.
Find some suitable caps with the correct values.
Also, don't use electrolytic caps, as noted by @adason.

Also the coils need revision! Those are toroid rings for >20KHz operation and are not specified for LF.
Take a look at Intertechnik to watch at what the market offers
