Here are your parts includes a wiring diagram.
Replacement parts for Maytag LDE7304ACE DRYER- ELE | AppliancePartsPros.com

Your wiring seems to be correct if the punctuation I added to your post is correct. I think you connected it as follows.
Black to L1
White to middle (Neutral)
Red to L2
Green to chassis.

I am not sure how you fixed the block.
May be best to replace it.

The bolt you used on the terminal strip may be shorting at the back of it to the frame.
Did you remove the ground strap that connected the middle to the chassis when wired for 3 wire?
