Issues with bottom speaker
I have an Galaxy A51 5G (A516U) the phone was dropped and it broke the OLED screen. I replaced the screen with a refurbished OEM screen. Upon testing the phone I realized that the bottom loud speaker does not work. The earpiece works fine. I tried reboots, software updates, safemode, etc. Even did a factory reset. I ordered a replacement loudspeaker and it still did not work. Is this a software bug? Not sure if it stopped working before or after the screen replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update (10/11/2022)
Here is a picture of the speaker connection and other surrounding components does anything look out of the ordinary?
Is this a good question?

Jonathan, which screen replacement did you do, the one with or without a frame attached?

@dadibrokeit the one without the frame. I removed the old one from the frame and attached a new one.

@bh_j39200, you'll have to edit your question and put the picture there; these forums don't allow for photos posted in comments.

@dadibrokeit Sorry here is a link for the pic of what I see https://ibb.co/FbTw1sk

@bh_j39200 Picture's a little fuzzy, but from what I can see the speaker connectors look okay. However, it does appear the board may have sustained some damage in the drop; if you look at the two screw holes to the right and left of the charging port the tops of them appear to be deformed.
If you can confirm, that would tend to support the theory that your charging port/headphone jack board took some injury in the drop and may need to be replaced.
You might try getting another picture, this time showing the whole board and seeing what you can do to make sure it's in focus; that way we can try and get a better look at it and see if there are any missing/damaged components. If you're feeling ambitious, a photo of the back side would help too.
