in changing my battery, it caught on fire

After removing the burnt battery in my attempt to replace it, I since cleaned the phone, it turns on and I can do all things (as far as I know) except the actual "Turn ON" meaning when I press the power button, it does not turn on, I have to connect it with the power cable and wait till its fully up or it will turn off. Once its up, it stays up and I seem to be able to do all things, including waking it up with the power button and turning it off with the power button. Now I know I fried a few cables internally but I am at a loss as to what they are. Here is a link to those PICS

Antenna seems to work fine, I et WIFI and LTE access and have tested them, my problem is powering up the phone.... I cannot do that unless I plug it in, battery is at 100% and the power button (once on) seems to be able to wake the phone up and power it off completely, BUT it will NOT power it up from a power down.

Take a look at the teardown, as far as I can see those areas you pointed out are the antenna and the side button keys. Since this phone has been out a while most likely the components are replacable, see parts.

Good luck friend
