That's the transfer bar (my term for it). It carries the force from your brake pedal to the master cylinder. Often, it is a captured fit (ie. the only thing keeping it in place is the master cylinder being bolted to the booster). If you didn't get it back in position, it could be cocked at an angle not allowing the pedal to move. Take the master loose and check the bar.
