You may be right in that the relay is working.

Still, the 87 terminal needs to be connected to the 50 on the starter and not the 15a.

Going back to the OP, the wire from 30 on the relay connects to the 30 terminal of the starter--that's direct power from the battery. When the relay "clicks" that direct battery power will be switched to 87 which should be wired to 50 on the starter.
