Will not power on after replacing charging port

My charging port wasn’t keeping the jack in so I replaced it. After I replaced it and put it back together, I ripped what I believe is the WiFi ribbon. In any case , my device will not power on at all. Nothing on the screen. Nothing when plugged in. Nothing when I plug in and unplug battery. Nothing. I have the part I ripped coming soon to replace. Could that be the problem? It is the small part by the speakers. Right off to the left. Any advice would be helpful.

Is this a good question?

can you send a highish-res picture of the part you ripped and the inside of the phone?

It sounds like you are talking about the diversity antenna, but that being ripped should not prevent the phone from at least trying to boot.

There is likely something else going on.
