MacBook not starting after battery replacement

Replaced the battery on my 2018 Macbook Pro Touchbar, turned it on, and it started, Coconutbattery said it was at 100% battery health with 0 battery cycles. I took out the battery, used the adhesive strips to glue it in, and then put it back together. Now, when I try to start it, it shows no signs of life. I've tried reinstalling the battery several times, as well as starting the Macbook while plugged in. Is there anything else I could do? How else can I troubleshoot this issue? Thanks in advance :)

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Did you forget to fully shut down the system the second time? Refer to Step 1 in this guide MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2018 Battery Replacement

At this point you need to connect a second Mac via USB-C using Configurator2 App to recover things.

Thanks for the response! It looks like I did forget to disable auto boot before doing the repair. Will I be able to get the Macbook working again? If so, how do I go about doing that. Thanks again!
