you need to recheck your battery connections and the dock connector. you may have damaged the battery solder points when you swapped the screens. you need to open the phone again and check the wires/solder points.

I might of damaged the battery while removing it. It was very difficult to separate it

Did it myself... It's a simple repair. You just need patience and a steady hand with a soldering iron.
