Display remains off after replacement
Hey everyone,
A week or so ago I managed to replace the battery on my 41mm series 7. Hurray! Or so I thought.
I initially powered it on without reapplying the screen's adhesive, and unfortunately when reopening it things went wrong and I ended up bending some of the display pins, which resulted in the display not turning on.
I ordered a new display from iFixit, followed the instructions to replace it (disconnecting the battery first), and after putting everything together the display still remains black while the watch is on (I see its battery in iOS and I can mirror its screen with the accessibility settings.
Anything obvious I should look for? I double-checked and the screen connectors seem to be fully in (see images).
Additionally, just want to make sure I got this right and the connector with (1)
should go in-between the taptic engine and what seems to be the housing of the crown? (2)
Thanks in advance!

On photo it looks like some pins of a LEFT connector on motherboard are still missing. If it is, you have to resolder this connector, it's a very difficult procedure.

Which connector do you mean? I don’t think any pins were lost - only bent - and the photos show the new display.
