so my compression was 50 psi after the new top end was installed. I removed the top end again and put back together and still got 50 psi. I removed it again and put another new kit on it and still got 50 psi. The only thing I can think of is that my head is damaged. It has a few cracks as you can see in the above picture but I can’t tell if it’s warped.

Head is fine imo.
If the base gasket isn't tore, you can re-use both gaskets.
While apart, you could try placing a rag on top and blowing air down around the crank. Usually it's together and we take the plug out, disconnect the wire to the coil, use rag, and spin motor till most is gone. Then apply full throttle till is starts and cleans out.

Okay so now when I try to start it, it will turn over for a few seconds and then it will stop turning over and the starter relay will start clicking. I hit the reset button on the back of the quad which will click and then I can turn it over for a few seconds and then the same thing will happen. Does this mean my relay is bad?

I think rings seat..depending. If you run synthetic (and everyone should) they take forever to seat if they do. It's advised to run a petroleum based oil to seat the rings. Then go to synthetic.
I run synthetic. Period.
With all that said, 105 is certainly enough to for it to start.
