Phone won't turn on unless proximity sensor is unplugged

I have an iPhone 6 that was boot looping and I went ahead and opened up the phone to see if there was water damage or even hardware damage on the phone when I unplugged the proxy the phone booted up perfectly, I did a software update to see if this can fix the problem and it still shuts down or boot loops with the proxy plugged in.

@erohman it appears you've tried a lot already. Maybe you can tell us what you've tried so we do not come up with things you already did ;-)
