A few days ago I have replaced the battery in my Macbook following the guide on ifixit, which involved taking out the logic board.
Anyway, I assembled everything according to the guide and everything works well, the battery is also great. However, I have just noticed, that even though the power button works, the touch id does not:
Whenever I log into the account after starting the mac, I enter the password, and after some time whenever it goes to sleep I cannot open it with touch id. Additionally, touch ID stopped working with saved passwords in Safari.
Also, whenever I try to add a new fingerprint, I get following error, right after I click add fingerprint and enter the password:

So it does not even allow to put a finger on it. Anyone knows how I can solve this issue? Because power button works.
What I did so far:
* Tried to reset NVRAM and SMC
* Tried to add new fingerprint in Safe Mode
* Visually inspected if the ribbon for touch id and power button is damaged (it is not)
* Tried creating a new user and adding a fingerprint
* Tried running Apple Diagnostics (Control+D on startup) - no hardware failures.

Anyone encountered it and knows about any possible solutions I can try?

Finally found some time to disassemble it, I reconnected everything, as you can see in the images (even though low quality but hopefully good enough), the touch ID does not work and touch id enrolment fails :(
