MacBook won’t boot after disassembly

My Macbook got wet but luckily I was able to clean most all of it and no liquid came in contact with the motherboard. After I put everything back in, my Macbook does not boot up anymore nor my trackpad does not click anymore too. My keyboard retaining clip for the ribbon cable broke and there is half of it left that is clamping the cable.

EDIT* I was able to find the other half of the ribbon cable clip and successfully put it back in.

Other thing to note was before I disassembled it. It was able to boot into the log in screen

Yes, I have disabled it before I opened it up for cleaning. Now when I open the lid, it would either show the Apple logo and shut down or the battery percentage would show. The keyboard also lights up but is dim.

At this point I think you'll need to find someone with deeper skills to fix your system.
