Check your wiring to the starter. Make sure you have the power wires on the correct terminal and make sure they are not contacting anything but the starter terminal it's bolted to.

Nothing looked to be touching the starter terminal bolts do you have any other suggestions of what it might be?

You may have that Positive cable on the Wrong Terminal of the starter.
I know there are 2 that look alike.
Try this:Cable hooked up at starter,IF you just touch the positive to the battery and it goes "SNAP",it is hooked up WRONG at the starter.
Either that or your starter is pooched.(could be bad from new,it happens.)
NOTE: that the Long Starter bolt also holds a Ground ON the engine side off the Harness.
That bolt needs to go through the Harness bracket,then through the Engine bolt hole,through the Trans bolt hole and end up facing you at the starter so you can put the nut on.
IF that Harness is not hooked up the car will not start.
