PC won't boot after thermal paste change.

I decided to change my thermal paste on both GPU and CPU. After I unscrewed the cpu fan, the backplate dropped, and the moron that I am, I thought it was behind the motherboard and not on the other side of the case. I unplugged every cable and then realized I had to open up the other side. After I plugged back in everything and screwed back the fan (horrible design with the backplate and cooler being literally glued to the CPU imo). It didn’t boot. PSU works fine but the rest doesn’t. No fans are spinning, GPU isn’t lighting up. I am not sure what to do. Maybe I plugged in the wrong cables to the wrong sockets. I made sure to check the motherboard manual for the front panel connectors.

Motherboard is an ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS

Try powering the PC on by shorting the power pins using a flat head screwdriver.

There is approximately 99% chance I edited my post

Try replugging the cables, mainly the ATX 24pin, CPU & GPU power cable.
And make sure the CPU & GPU cable isn't switched around.
