wow, the only thing that connects the faceplate to the rest of the radio is the ribbon cables ... you either didn't get them seated fully or there's a button that's not seated properly and is constantly being mashed. Try taking it back apart and making sure all the buttons are seated right and the robbions are fully seated and not in crooked ... or backwards but you would have had to force and probably break part of the connector to get it in backwards
