The problem is that most hand sanitizers evaporate shortly after being applied and may not leave any trace but the damage may have occurred when it was still in a liquid form. All liquids have impurities that will create paths for the electricity that are not is the phone’s operating design and can cause damage to some extent and also can cause some form of corrosion to occur.

Even if the phone was switched off there is always power available at various points on the systemboard. The power button is not a power isolating button.
All you can try is to disconnect the battery and then dis-assemble the phone and clean everything again using Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9%+ (available from electronics parts stores). This includes removing any shields that are covering the cpu etc as there may be damage under them and also disconnecting any cables and cleaning the ends and the cable connectors.
You never know, after doing all this it may work correctly again.
