Refitted sleep/wake button does not move (or click/work) when pressed

What am I doing wrong when refitting the sleep wake button of my 5c? There is a note about the orientation of the metal bar in the repair guide, but there is no photo to illustrate what it means. Can anyone offer any clarification?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

It sounds more like a bad power flex. That is the piece that has the actual tactile switch on it.

The switch on the ribbon cable clicks nicely with a fingernail or the flat of a screwdriver when pressed - but when it is installed, nothing.

It is still probably the switch. You are only feeling half of its actuation, but the power button needs the full actuation to work.
