Default No crank/no start after engine swap

Hey everyone!
I've got a 96 hatchback with a z6 and a 5 speed swap. I recently had a y7 with the same transmission and it ran great until the timing belt broke and the engine took a ****. I swapped it with a z6 and kept the same transmission. When I turn the key it's not wanting to even crank over. When I changed the timing belt on the old engine and it was running. I didn't realize it until it was too late but one of the injector wires had an exposed part on the wire and it touched the manifold and died instantly. I swapped the engine because the old one was dead. After the swap, I tried to get it to crank to put oil pressure back to the turbo and get everything primed and it wouldn't crank. I jumped the battery to the solenoid and it makes a starting sound like it's trying to start.
Battery tested good. The resistance at the 3 main grounds is 0.1 or 0.0, Fuses tested good with test light
When I turn the key, I get the beeps and my radio comes on and headlights work but the fuel pump doesn't kick on. I turn the key to crank it and nothing
It's like the solenoid isn't getting power
I don't have the clutch safety switch where it was Auto and everything worked before the swap.
I replaced the following:
fuel pump/fuel pump relay(the one behind the glove box)Wiring harness/injectors and the Starter
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched all kinds of websites and forums and nothing has helped thus far.

Check your ground at thermostat.

That's the one for the wiring harness right?

The fuel pump runs when I jump wires 1 and 7 together but won't crank
