OK, I think I have enough clues here.
In the process of replacing the SSD, the blade SSD was lifted damaging the logic board connector. I’ve seen this a few times now.
This is a custom connector! So far I haven’t found a source, the best you can do is salvage a connector from a donor board. Even still this does take special tools to remove the bad socket and installing the new one. You’ll need to find someone with the deeper skills and has the proper tools. The only other option is sadly replacing the logic board.

Thanks. But it all looks good. Gaps are the same.
@philipjunior - did you damage on e of the pins inside the connector? There really isn't anything you can fix here without a new connector.

If Dan’s solution didn’t work and the only thing you did was a factory reset without removing the SSD it is indeed strange.
· The SSD doesn’t show up in disk utility?
· Have you tried internet recovery?
· Have you ruled out an AFPS issue after the reset?
I would check if it has the proper date, reset the SMC by disconnecting the battery than reconnecting, NVRAM reset and finally try an SMC bypass by disconnecting the battery, holding the power button for 30 seconds plug in the magsafe release the power button and push it again.

What is the SSD? Is it still the original Apple unit or something else?
You may need to pop the bottom cover off to inspect it. Let us know what you have, posting a picture might help 在已经存在的问题里加入图片

It is not the original. The computer worked fine for over a year with the upgraded SSD. It's a "Fledgling" brand SSD. I also tried an OWC Aura SSD and still no success. Took it to Apple who tried an original Apple SSD and that didn't work either. Apple said it may be the logic board but how could it boot off of a USB and the logic board be "fried"? Apple gave no definitive answer so I continue to search. Thanks for your help.
