Original digitizer doesn't work after replacing digitizer

Hi all,
I traded some stuff for a switch from a friend of mine, which needed a few repairs. One of the optional ones I did was a digitizer replacement since the old one had some deep scratches on the front of it. Nothing that prevented it from working.

I unfortunately realized that my switch was the wrong version- it’s not the original 2017 unpatched one. Mine is serial number XAW1008 which places it just inside the unpatched version, meaning that the digitizer I ordered from here does not work with the device, and sure enough it doesn’t respond to any touch. The issue with it being the patched version means there’s no way for me to run the custom boot loader to make it work once again.

My switch is a HAC-001 model which the digitizer replacement part page said it’s compatible with. It is unfortunately serial number XAW1008005-, which places it just inside the unpatched version, meaning that I can’t run the custom bootloader to diagnose and recalibrate the screen. I’m not sure what’s going on.
I tried to plug in the original digitizer and rebooted the device, but the original digitizer didn’t work even though it had been working when I pulled it off. I checked that the cable was seated right, I checked that the headphone jack board was connected right, and I even checked all the ribbon cables to make sure that none were damaged. Nothing seems to be amiss. Any ideas on what could be up?
