Default New head cylinder swapped and now not running: Please help!

So i got a 1998 318ti 5speed 1.9L and head cracked on me.
Replaced it with a new head and now it's not cranking. I have attempted to taken it off and put it again to make sure my timing was even correct.

I placed a metal stick into cylinder 1 to make sure it sits at TDC along with the cam shaft locking tool.

What I installed that were new:

new 284/283 cat cams
new crank position sensor
new camshaft position sensor
new spark plugs
new starter
new head gasket set (victor reinz)
new mls head gasket (.070)
new arp head studs and bolts
new battery from 4-5 months ago

Lights, windows, wipers are all functioning but when i turn the key, it is not cranking.

Am i right with the installation of my starter? The smallest wire goes on top, medium one goes at the bottom, while the two other wires go to battery and to alternator? I'm sure it was like that? Please help! It seems to be getting fuel too... : (
