Either one of the cameras was not properly reconnected or was damaged during the lcd assembly replacement.

Update

If both are working fine in snapchat but not in the camera app, might be time to restore the phones firmware through DFU mode (Google DFU iohoneif you aren't familiar with the term). Back your phones up in iTunes or iCloud first but I would set it up as a new phone after restoring it and see if both cameras work. If they do restore from your backup and check them again.
