My question is what would I set the overload to on a soft start. Do I use the FLC on the name plate or that value /1.73 as what it says on the soft start.
Thank you for your help in advance guys.

The setting of soft start unit all depends on how it has been wired and from your photo I can’t tell.
Is the soft start wired as a direct on line, I.e 3 wires to the motor or is it inside a delta loop - 6 wires to the motor?
If it is 3 wires, you set it to the current rating of the motor plate, if it’s inside the delta loop you set it by dividing the current rating on the motor plate by 1.732
