Lines appeared in screen immediately after swapping battery

I’m hoping anyone could help me out with this. I recently ordered an ifixit battery replacement because I noticed the one currently installed was swelling. There were no issues with the display then. This was the second battery replacement I’ve done on this machine since 2012

After I received the battery, I powered off the lap top, and installed it as I have before. Only this time there was a single vertical line in the display that occasionally flickers and changes color. Then after troubleshooting for a couple hours another line appeared.

I have tried resetting the smc, the nvram, reseated the display cable, powered it on with the battery unplugged, and nothing.

Could something have found it’s way between the uppercase and the display screen? So as you applied pressure on the screws the problem was created.

I’m suspecting some pressure onto the displays screen damaging the vertical signal lines either within the panel or the ribbon cables connecting to the LCD.

Sometimes sliding your finger along the bottom edge of the screen might help.
