Question AFCI white wire - gnd or ntrl?

Can someone tell me if the white wire coming off an AFCI breaker should be attached to the ground bus or the neutral bus in auxilary panel?

The coiled white wire goes to the panel neutral bus.

The other white wire is the load neutral.

Thank you, just wanted to verify. I hadn't noticed this before.
