Wiring for Nest

I just purchased a google nest thermostat and configured based on what the instructions said. My current thermostat works, but my nest doesn’t. I set my nest back to factory reset but still can’t get the furnace to blow warm air. I have attached a picture of my old thermostat configuration and what I thought this was my nest configuration, can also wine please tell me what I am doing wrong?  One more piece of information, I did change the blue wire from OB to C and that still didn’t work.

Blue wire is your C wire. Some brands call C the B on the furnace (make sure the blue wire is on the B or C screw in the furnace).

Then you need to start over and tell Nest it is a Heat and AC system with forced air (Not a heat pump, it probably thought you had a heat pump when it saw the wire attached to the OB* and set it up wrong).
