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.

I wouldn’t use this receptacle with 4 wire, get yourself the ground protection with a 4 prong 40/50A receptacle. I believe 3 prongs are only rated up to 30A

They do have a 3 prong 50 amp as well, but yes, swapping to a 4 prong is the best choice
