Installed a outside sub panel to feed some outside lighting. I also installed a photo eye in this panel to control this lighting. Question is this can I put the photo eye leads (black) under the circuit breaker screw and the (white) under the neutral bar screw?

How many wires total coming out of the eye?
In other words, is it designed to mount in series with the load, in one supply wire, or does it have both line and load wires?
Look at the installation instructions please before you hurt yourself.
If it has two black wires and one white wire, then what you propose will just not provide any power to the lights.
Is there a reason you cannot ask the person who is supervising your apprenticeship?
White to the neutral bar, no problem as long as there is not a second wire under the screw and the terminal bar is rated for a wire as small as the P cell neutral.
Black to the breaker ..pretty much same story. How many and what size wires is the breaker rated.
