Standard Stereo Problems

Hey Guys
Would anybody know, I had taken my face plate for standard stereo off my 2010 VRX Lancer to suss out what type of aftermarket one I can get, while I was handling everything very carefully, I had put the fascia plate back on, know my buttons wont work on the face plate, all my buttons on the steering wheel still control the stereo but I seem to cant get a light or any other functions on the actual stereo to work.
Is the face plate a one use plate, or am I missing a connection when I hooked it back up? It is a strange set up, you take the face off but actual unit stays in the dash.
I have taken to Mitsubishi but the cant find a problem.

Check the ribbon cable, sounds like it might have come off or loose when you've pulled it out. Thats the only thing I can think that would cause this problem.

Will pull apart again and see, was abit concerned about the ribbion, was really the only connection I could find under the face plate.
Thanks again
