Keyboard & trackpad not working after display removal

Hey gang, total beginner here but having fun learning. So, I "decapitated" a spare 13" M2 Macbook Air to use as a "slab book" with my Vision Pro. And by decapitate I mean I removed the display per the guide [guide|156358|HERE|new_window=true] [br]

It worked great, was super portable and I can AirPlay to TVs, my Vision Pro, etc. After tinkering, I reassembled everything (minus the display) and now the following is happening:
# The M2 Air boots and connects to an external display via USB-C
# Keyboard does not register clicks at login or any screen.
# Trackpad doesn't register.
# Nor does "force touch" seem to be in effect on the trackpad. There's no "click" feeling.
# After about 5-10 seconds, the unit goes to sleep.
I've double-checked all the connections inside and everything that I disconnected during the display removal was reconnected, minus the display ribbon (since it's a headless Macbook Air now).
Any thoughts on what might be causing the listed issues above? I'm slightly suspicious of the Lid Angle Sensor possible getting damaged, but would that explain the keyboard & the trackpad not clicking or registering and the unit sleeping after 5-10 seconds?[br]

Thanks so much!
