There is 3 points on this Ground cable. One to the transmission, the 2nd to the negative battery, and the 3rd I'm not sure. It's just hanging loose.

Can you upload an images for what you are seeing? I need to see the wire end to know where it goes.

Sorry for the late reply. I just got a new issue. Starter just clicks but doesn't engage.

Replaced: battery
Starter off my other xB (working)

I just changed the engine, asked my xB group and said to check the ground. I have this connector on the ground, but I don't know where it goes.

Yep, this would be the problem, one part of the cable goes to the engine/transmission and the other goes to the frame/chassis. I would bolt these down to see what happens, be careful when connecting the battery, there should be a little spark when connected, if a big spark is produced, stop.
