I can turn the fan on but the cannot get the actual air conditioner to turn on. Do I need to move the red from G to RC and discard the jumper?

Thanks much.
Since the wires came off a mercury stat I assume the new digital works off batteries, meaning there is no 24v common wire . You should be able to switch the wires to check their positions. You still need the jumper. If that doesn't work then you have something wrong with the outdoor unit. Let me know.
