Need Help Quick

I have come to a problem with my glow plugs.... Worked fine before I changed the valve cover gaskets I have a problem with the grounds.... I can't find the wire. I have the one that goes to the solenoid on the relay that mounts to the top of the valve cover. There is a 2nd ground that grounds to the bottom stud on the same valve cover. I have a 1993 turbo diesel. Please help me in the right direction. In case someone would want to talk me in the right direction my phone # is 818-551-1735. Thanks.

BTW FYI don't accidently take the cover off the relay and move it around or else you will burn a hole into your wastegate. LOL.
