iPhone 8 boot loop

I replaced the screen of my iPhone 8, just a small crack, and now it is stuck in a boot loop, the haptic button does work. Every now and then the screen goes black or the device turns off. I have made sure all the connections are tight, and everything seems good. It turns on immediately after being powered off, so no DFU mode. I can get it into recovery mode, but it won't be recognized in iTunes. I updated my Macs and I've tried two cables, and everything works on my iPhone XS..

Did you reuse the touchbutton from the old screen to the new screen?

It sounds like you did this yourself.

If so, you performed an unauthorized repair on the iPhone. Apple will no longer be able to help you with this device.

If I wanted support from Apple I would go to an apple store. I asked the community instead. I have the legal right to repair and understand damage isn't covered under my warranty, however it isn't voided

Yes, I was careful not to damage it to keep touchid functionality. The repair worked out great and it's working fine now!
