Replaced Screen (from ifixit) only works in safe mode

Had a 2017 Macbook Pro with broken screen. Replaced the screen with the kit from ifixit. Boots fine then before I can login the screen flickers and goes black. I can still see the backlight on a bit, when I hold the power button to force shutdown I can see the screen go completely black to confirm it is off.
Ran diagnostics - no issues[br]
Reset SMC - no change[br]
Reset NVRAM - no change
Everything works great in safe mode however, so I’m pretty convinced it isn’t a hardware issue.
To that end, I wiped the macbook and reinstalled os (screen worked perfectly fine during this process). I even upgraded to big sur, with no problems. UNTIL I try to boot into the main os, then the screen goes black again. But everything works in safe mode.
Any ideas? I’m at a loss. The only thing I can come up with is that maybe something else was damaged when the screen was broken.
