Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
4 prong. But don't need all 4 for my circuit not going to power any 120 volt loads My understanding is I can wire it as it is and still have gfci protection. Which when It worked the other day i verified with the test button.

You still need the neutral from the plug to the neutral bus in the breaker can. And of course the ground.Originally Posted by DFBrews

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.

Are you sure the ground and neutral are not bonded in the box? Lift all ground and neutral wires then check continuity between ground and neutral bars.
Edit to add: In the pic it appears there is a screw or something o right side of neutral bar touching can? Hard to tell for sure from pic.

Isolated and ohmed during initial troubleshooting no continuity anywhere it shouldn't be. And the gold screw top right of the sub panel is not touching the box itself it is isolated with a piece of plastic and is what holds the neutral bar to the box itself on a piece of plastic
kinda want to put it on a different 240 circuit and see if the problem follows meaning I have a problem on my dryer circuit but sadly my stove has a different plug.
