Light fixture. Ground wire disconnected. How to avoid death

[neato burrito]

Hi men. This fixture began flickering then the bulb died. I put a new one in and it immediate made a popping sound and died. I opened it to look at the connections and it appears the ground wire is disconnected. I don’t see the other end of the ground wire or anything that with my limited knowledge I can recognize as something it is supposed to connect to. The ground wire also appears discolored and grey at the end. What do I need to do?

It looks to me that the ground wire needs to be wrapped round the screw on the bracket where it’s marked “GND”

I would also shorten the wires a bit and get rid of the extra wire nut thingy on the whites.

@Megawatt may have more suitable ideas, with me being in UK

My friend the ground wire needs to hook to the plate which holds up the fixture. As stated by my friend @littlespark. It’s a green screw and needs the ground wire to attach to it plus the fixture in your hand
