Home button not working after replacing screen
Hi!
I just replaced the screen on my wife's phone after it was cracked. Everything's working OK now except for the Home button. It's totally unresponsive right now.
I disconnected and reconnected all the cables on the front plate and I'm still getting the problem. Enabling Assistive touch as a workaround works, but I'd like to have a functioning Touch ID and Home button.
I'm wondering what I could have done wrong that could be fixed I've seen plenty of issues that refer to Touch ID not working after this operation, but nothing that covers the whole Home button being dead. Any ideas?

So I replaced the flex cable that runs behind the LCD shield plate (actually just installed a whole new plate). Unfortunately, I've still got the same problem of the Home button being dead.
I might know why; when I disassembled it this time to put on the new home cable, I got to the step where you disconnect the home button from the home button flex cable. As I did this step, the flex cable head tore off entirely, with the little mount connected to the home button remaining plugged in and everything else tearing loose. I had to work with tweezers and my fingernails to get the two connections apart. Once I did, the home button connector looked OK, but I'm worried I broke something there now. Thoughts?

Once the screen is replaced the touch id is lost. Confirmed. :/

Take the phone with new home screen to apple. They can reprogram the new button. The home button only works with the phone it came on for security reasons. Go to apple and ensure you have all your passwords, PIN number and other device info. I did the exact same thing you are posting. Those ribbons are very delicate. It’s worth it to take it to a phone shop and have them do it.

Do they charge for it?
