iPad stuck in recovery mode after LCD replacement

So after replacing the LCD and power/volume buttons on my iPad 4 my iPad will bootup but default to recovery mode. I have tried all the obvious solutions to fix the problem like the iTunes update route and power button/home button combination route with no success. The screen appears as normal and looks completely fine. I am wondering if anyone has had any similar issues. Could it be a screw I put in the wrong spot, or could I have damaged a small part on the board that I can get fixed? Either way I am hoping for a solution and I greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

Have you tried doing a iTunes restore? Sometimes the iPad just needs to be restored if the update fails with error code -26 for example.

You mentioned you replaced the power button and volume buttons. It could be that cable is being depressed and something is causing the device to enter recovery mode. Its a pain, but if you can get back into the device and re-seat those cable connections on the logic board that could solve the issue, verify the buttons click freely and aren't spongy at all before trying to replace them again.
