Replaced cracked trackpad, now backlit keys aren't turning on.

I had a cracked trackpad and replaced it yesterday. Just noticed today that the backlit keys aren't lighting up anymore. Suggestions? Is there anyway I left something disconnected? I disconnected a number of ribbon cables in order to lift up the logic board enough to reach certain out of reach screws.

Click on the step-by-step guides under the photo to your right. Then click on the upper case guide and go to step 21. Reseat that connector and see if it solves your problem.
