I recently moved into a new home (new build).
Comcast installed my internet, but was of no help getting my ethernet working.
My builder told me the modem needs to be connected in here and then the router needs to be connected to the patch panel for the room I want to have ethernet access for.
I have connected the cable modem and router. Wifi works fine. I connected the ethernet cables from the port on the back of the router to the patch panel, but I get no lights on the router as you can see and I get no ethernet access.
Not sure what I am doing wrong?

It looks like you've connected two of your router's LAN ports to two of your patch panel ports, making two of the Ethernet outlets in the house live - the back of the router isn't in the picture so can only assume. Since wifi is working, you must have the modem in the WAN / Internet port of the router so it isn't much of a leap.
Are your devices connected to the outlets corresponding to those two ports in the patch panel? Hopefully the outlets are labelled to indicate the patch panel port.
If you're in the right ports, you have to test the cable.
If you're not sure which outlets correspond with which patch panel ports, you have to identify the cables and map it all out.
