Trying to work out what I’ve done wrong here. It won’t let me in to the Nest App or Network options in the settings. It just says ‘Low Battery’. It’s a new build house.

Looks correct. If the wires are connected to the same screw terminals on the furnace and the power is on to the furnace it should be getting power to the Nest.
You can check the power status on the Nest see if it shows 24-30V AC if not then check if the power is on to the furnace.
It might just be a very low battery and you can pull the nest off and plug it into a usb phone charger for a few hours to charge it up.
Or if you were wiring it with the power on you might have blown the fuse on the board in the furnace. Usually they look like car fuses that plug in.

Hi folks,
@Houptee, thanks for the help!
@Paulmcclellan, how's it going with your Nest Thermostat? Still need our help?
Thanks,

I believe I have everything working correctly. The low power was just to the period of no use. I’m currently trying to determine if the fan is working correctly, but that’s the green wire and impossible to mix up.
In my old house I had a Heat Pump so the white wire was in W2 and an orange wire ran to OB.
the different setups are confusing.

You can check the power go to settings on the nest and then power status.
Vin should show 24v-30v that is the power coming from the transformer in the furnace on the Red + and C common wires.
If Vin is 0v then there is a problem with the red and blue wires not supplying power to the Nest.

attached are before and after images. Can someone confirm I have the wiring correct, I’d appreciate it.

Looks correct for a heat (non heat pump) and AC system.
Did you tell the nest the correct type of system you have?
