Switch 2 Right Joycon Connector Broken After Shell Swap

Hello eXtremeRate subreddit. I recently decided to shell swap my Switch 2 with an eXtremeRate shell (joycons, console, and joycon rails), and it was a pretty smooth experience!

I'm having one issue after opening the console itself and replacing the backplate, though, and I was wondering if anyone could help.

After going through the full backplate replacement, the *right joycon connector* specifically does not work.

It's not an issue with the right joycon, which I've confirmed by putting the right joycon on upside down on the left side of the console, which connects correctly, and by putting the left joycon on the right side of the console upside down, which does *not* connect correctly.

I was wondering if anyone here has had a similar issue, and if anyone has a fix to this. There's no visible damage to the connector, or to anything else inside of the console itself. Thanks!

(Note: I was very careful during disassembly, so i really highly doubt that the ribbon cable for the connector could have come undone, as it was not significantly exposed at all.)
