Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
That is your problem. The load side neutral does not go to the neutral bus. ( From the load side of the breaker.)
Also, if that is a GFCI breaker, it looks like it is missing the curled neutral that should go to the neutral bus. ( See the lower left of the illustration, it appears more of a zig zag.)

Looks to me that he has the load side neutral capped off at the bottom of the panel. I believe the wire he has going to the neutral buss is the "curled" wire. Might just be a bad GFI breaker.
correct Charlie
have an an email into Home Depot see if they will swap out just the breaker or if I have to take everything apart and send them the entire panel

Here's my diagram like I said I can take the load side completely out and it still trips. If I pull the curly white from the neutral bus it does not trip

Now I'm confused!
My wiring in the first picture is
red and black hot leg go into their respective slots into the breaker
line in green ground goes to ground bus
white neutral goes to neutral bus
curly wire from gfci goes into neutral bus.
This set up with nothing on the load side still trips the breaker immediately.
Going to buy another breaker (at 100 bucks a pop ouch) and see if the problem continues.

If you didn't have the neutral from the dryer plug to the GFCI breaker can, you may have damaged the breaker, or you got a defective breaker.
Homey Depot has a no return policy on electrical parts.
