The infographic mixes up some things. The US government had reported that there had been two incidents, one on August 2nd and the other on August 4th. The one on the 4th never happened. The one on the 2nd did actually happen. On that date the Maddox was being chased by a few north vietnamese patrol boats, they kept following after the Maddox fired warning shots, so the Maddox attacked them. It was originally reported that the north vietnamese had fired first so it would seemike the maddox was acting in self defence.
