shuts off when tapped in places other than the screen.

I started changing out a broken screen but messed up the antenna in the process. Got them both changed out thanks to IFIXIT. It seems to be ok except for one thing. When you tap the sides or bottom ever so slightly or set it down, it shuts off. After a few seconds, the apple appears like I restarted it or something. The battery was completely drained but is 80% now and still doing it.

sounds like the motherboard is not making good contact with the battery underneath. If you open it back up, tighten up the screw holding the board on the battery and that will likely solve.
