When I pick whip the wiggle expression to a slider it sends my footage to the top left of the screen. I have no idea what to do.

When you pick whip like that you are moving the wiggle expression. Using the last screen shot as the basis your expression needs to be.
temp = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
wiggle(11, temp);You can only animate the amplitude without some more code explained here https://www.motionscript.com/articles/speed-control.html#wiggle

In your screenshot, you're using the property pickwhip, not the expression pickwhip. See how it replaced all the code you wrote? The Position proporty requires two parts, X and Y. They're represented in the code as [x,y], but those two variables can be replaced by whatever you feed to it.
If you look at the code in your last image, you're feeding [slider value, slider value], which in this case means [0,0].
If you're looking to replace the amplitude of the wiggle with the slider value, make sure to use the expression pickwhip, while having your cursor in the correct spot in the expression editor.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, your final code should look like:
wiggle(11, effect("Slider Control")("Slider"))
I'd highly recommend learning the basics of expressions so you have a better idea of what you're trying to do. This series is an excellent place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFgWa5G0VAE&list=PLvr5U5ZSt6IzHyvSL9fo0M9NRPsTvra31
