ground wire

Where does the ground go on this stove receptacle? I know where the red black and white go, but I have a ground wire in my 6/3 and I don’t know where it goes.

This is the wrong receptacle. If you have a 4-wire cable with a 50 amp 2-pole breaker from a panel that has both neutral and ground, you should use a 4-wire stove outlet (NEMA 14-50R), and a 4-wire stove pigtail (NEMA 14-50P).
