I unplug the wires and then shortly after I went to plug them back in and the black had power and the neutral also had power and the neutral arched badly when being connected.
You're a brave lad - connecting powered wires. Nothing wrong with a arc as both the neutral and hot carry power.
I also checked in the breaker box where all the neutrals and grounds are connected and it shows that I have 120 V between the ground and the neutral busbar.
That indicates a open ground and is consistent with the GFCI tripping.
it seems that the power to the inverter is not coming from the breaker it's coming from the white neutral that's connected but if I shut the breaker off for the converter it kills the converter.
Don't understand the reference to the inverter. Do you have a charger/inverter unit?
All grounds should be bonded. The transfer switch does not switch the ground.
You apparently have 3 problems:
1. Open ground
2. Ground fault which causes the GFCI to trip
3. Bad transfer switch
