iPhone SE2 Home button stopped working after screen replacement

I recently performed a pretty standard screen replacement on an iPhone SE2. In case it's helpful, the screen was completely black with no visible signs of damage, but the phone booted up fine, other screens worked, and I could feel the vibration from the home button. When I actually went through with the repair, I obviously tested it before closing it up. The home button had stopped working with the "Could not activate Touch ID on this iPhone" notification shown as if the home button was disconnected or replaced. I then tested it again with the original screen and with two partially working iPhone 8 screens from prior repairs. The home button only worked with the original screen. I was unable to discover any information online about Apple locking down screen replacements on the SE2 like they had on the 13 (before they reverted it), but that seems like the only possible reason. Is this a known problem? Do you have any suggestions?
