Face ID not working after Earpiece Speaker/Sensor Assembly replacement

Hi all,
I had my iPhone X ear piece speaker stop working the other day. I bought a replacement Earpiece Speaker and Sensor Assembly for my model phone off of ifixit, and just replaced it today. After swapping it, turning the phone on, I got the message pop up saying “Unavailable to activate face ID on this phone”. I then go into my face ID settings, attempt to set it up, but then get the message “Face ID is not available, try setting up face ID later”. The ear speaker is now working fine, but face ID is not. I opened it back up, verified all the connections are good, re-seated all of them, checked the sensors, made sure they were all clean, no prints or dirt, but still no luck. Could the replacement I got have a bad sensor? Anybody have any other suggestions at all?
Thanks!
