MacBook Pro won't charge, replaced battery and D/C Board.

Recently my Mac started having charging issues. At first I ordered a replacement battery from Ifixit and it worked great. After a while ,exercising good battery care, my mac refused to charge. I checked all the system information and all of which say my battery is good and still young in its cycle history. I tried resetting the SMC multiple times to no avail. Figuring it may be a hardware issue, I thought maybe it was my charger. Bought a new charger and still nothing. Replaced the DC Board and double checked all my connections on the logic board to make sure there’s no debris in any of the plugs. Still nothing. Reset the SMC with the new DC board and it still does not charge. I’m not sure what else to do since the battery, charger, and DC board are all new. Apple technician also said the DC board might have shorted hence why I changed it. I also crossed referenced other macs similar to mine and saw their voltage reading for the battery status, main difference being that mines says “No” on the status of it charging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

(Edit) Here’s some screenshots of my coconut battery stats. Hopefully this helps with my issue.

Install this gem of an app CoconutBattery and post a snapshot of the main window so we can see whats up Adding images to an existing question.

Depending on the charge level of your battery as well as its temp it may not be charging which is why you saw No on the charging status line. Once I see the snapshot we can get a better idea on the next steps.

Your logic board charging logic needs repairs. Your charger may have damaged your logic board. Make sure you have a real Apple unit not a cloned unit OEM MagSafe Chargers vs Cheap Imposters: Teardown for Truth

Ahh, that makes sense. I let it charge for a bit and now the battery status says its fully charged but once I remove the charger it can't even turn on.

If the top bar in CoconutBarry doesn't move to the right your not charging! Leaving it charging longer than a few hour's with no movement tells us you have a problem that leaving it connected won't fix.
