So the picture you took is before you started trying anything, or is it possible that you put the wires in the wrong place when reinstalling the old thermostat?

I know with the other nest you don't need to jumper rh and rc. It handles that internally. I would just put that wire into R. The other wires are the same.

It really couldn't be more simple... https://youtu.be/dHKD-9uI24I

You just label the wires with where they're plugged in now, and then put the same wires into the same spots on the nest base.
