iPhone 5s rear camera replacement still not working ! ?

I followed the guide from ifixit to install a new rear camera after a minor fall crack the edge of the screen and the camera no longer functioned, but after a new camera and a new battery the problem persists!

The front camera works fine.

The rear camera is black. The flash does not function. There is a caution "overheating - wait for battery to cool" warning and the battery does overheat quite easily.

I have checked all the connections which seem fine, and not sure how to diagnose.

Help please!?

iPhone 5s

Sorry, but since you have opened the phone, Apple will not service your device anymore. You'll have to get it fixed by an experienced 3rd party repair shop, or ask for help int the ifixit forum. According to Apple, users are not supposed to service the phone.
