 I have a W2 wire and my NEST thermostat doesn't have a spot left (only 6 terminals) with O/G being the only one left. I assume the furnace might be a 2 stage blower seeing that it is new. After install everything works  but will the furnace work properly when called upon. Thanks!

Sounds like you have the Nest Thermostat (2020) model, which has a programmable */OB connector for this purpose. Here's what the wiring should look like (old to new). Does this not match what you're seeing?
