Wi-Fi antennas on iPhones are generally connected at the top left of the logic board. Sometimes an antenna may not be connected properly or the screws are not in the right spots which may not allow the antenna on the housing to contact properly with the logic board antenna contacts.

How find right screws to the the right spots? Because i'm mixed up screws. But im already re-screwed the module three times. And it didnt solve the problem.

Could there be a reason in a non-original housing?

Yeah the aftermarket housings have common problems like antenna / signal. This is why I stick to original housing or ones taken from ICloud locked phones.

There are 3 possible parts that could be giving you issues, the black plastic square antenna at the top left, the flex at the top middle that connects near the rear camera, and one that connects next to the battery connector and goes over the loud speaker.

For a guide on screw sizes do a google image search for iPhone 8 screw guide.
