Those ZIF connectors can sometimes be tricky to get properly seated. Recheck steps 35 through 38 on the screen replacement guide. Verify that the display ribbon cable is full inserted into the connector, and is aligned straight across. On yours, it looks like there's a line across the width of the cable that shows when it's inserted full and lined up correctly.

Also, make sure none of the coating material got caught under the ribbon cable and is interfering with the connections there.
