If you are running your M2-ATX close to its rated capacity, I would be careful with this. Generally the factory wires are 18 or 20 gauge wire. Even though you have attached a larger gauge wire to the factory harness, your effective wire size is the smallest gauge used -- in this cause, the 18 or 20 gauge wire from the factory harness.
If you run the m2-ATX close to its rated capacity, you can cause the smaller factory harness wire to heat up, and possibly melt its insulation under the heat. Then, since factory bundles multiple wires together closely, there's a chance of shorting out between those wires or catching something on fire.
Again.. it probably works fine and hasn't given you any trouble, but it
could in the future if you run the m2-atx close to its rated capacity. I would suggest taking your 12 gauge wire all the way to the battery instead
