changing the plug on a dryer (3 to 4prong)

I have a GE dryer that has a three prong plug on it, the house we just moved into has a four prong plug outlet. I went to home depot and baught the new four prong plug to put on the dryer, I don't know what wires go where, the new plug didn't come with a diagram, and the drier isn't color coded like the plug.

thank a ton

4-prong plug

The red & black wires go on the outside terminals of the terminal block. The white goes on the center terminal. The green goes to a screw that is on the frame of the dryer.
