I'm not sure what you are calling the ground. The starter is grounded through the block. The large connector with the heavy black cable goes directly to the battery. It and the other large connector goes to the lower stud in your picture. The upper stud has the visible connection to the starter. When the two large connectors are connected to the lower stud, the large connector with multiple wires will be connected to the battery positive through the heavy black wire. These smaller wires will carry battery voltage to other circuits/fuse links. When the ignition is switched to Start, battery voltage is applied to the wire on the small connector (S terminal). This energizes the solenoid which causes the pinion to extend and engage the flywheel which causes the two studs to become connected internally routing battery voltage to the starter. So small connector to the small spade (S terminal), the two large connectors to the lower stud.

@Ray Quayle I didn't know what the other wire was so I assumed it was the ground. Thank you for the information. This helps a lot. It's pretty obvious I haven't done this before. My dad walked out there today and told me that common sense would say exactly what you did so now I just have to get it all wired up. Thanks.
