There are multiple wires coming from my ceiling, 4 black, white, and green, and 1 yellow wire.
Our light has 1 black, 1 white, and 1 yellow/green.
I wired:
– the black on the light to the bundle of blacks from the ceiling.
– the white on the light to the bundle of whites from the ceiling.
Then plugged in a light bulb. The light bulb was ALWAYS ON no matter what light switch I toggled.
How should I be wiring this? Thanks.

Yellow (and painted white) will be switched hot, connect that to fixture black.
The white bundle is neutral, the white from the fixture goes here.
Fixture yellow/green is ground and gets connected to the green bundle.
