Yes, but if you skip the capacitors there shouldnt be any connection between 12V and GND like in your picture (remove the black lines between 12V and GND and Vout and GND).
I think you did just that, skiped the capacitors, when you built this thing. But I dont think you wired the 12V to GND, hehe. That would indeed short circuit your PSU.
