Noooooooooo! Don't let the red and white wires touch ground. You'll short the circuitry! If you have access to a multimeter you will find as is mentioned earlier in the thread that the red and white wires are the start or the end of their respective coiils. The multimeter would clearly show you (if set on resistance) which is which. That being said, the green and the black wires are the start and the end of the circuit . So! If you are not going to coil split, which as a beginner, i suggest is a good idea to avoid, then simply attach the green wire to your HOT connection and the black and silver wire to your GROUND.
Hopefully, it should now make sense to you that if you also attached the red and white wires to ground that would render that part of the coil redundant . The red and white wires are attached to each-other only and that connection should be insulated so as not to come into contact with anything else. If you are coil splitting then one of those two wires would go to the HOT and the other would indeed go to ground.
