Give the display connectors and cables a good inspection. If you creased or tore one of the cables, that could lead to touchID issues. Can you try a new screen?

Yes like @hootonberg said a new screen should fix this issue.

Same with the old one where the homebutton is good(Pressable /Vibrating when being clicked) but the fingerprint capability is not working .

You said you reset the phone. I don’t know what method you used but if you haven’t restored through iTunes I would give that a go it sometimes fixes the problem. If that fails it would point to a failure in the home button assembly.
