Q: iPhone 6 cellular antenna issue after fixing lightning port

I bought a replacement part from iFixit due to the lightning port was not working properly and followed the guide they supplied. Up until replacing the antenna cable. I admit one part is my fault, i wasn't looking properly and i was trying to push it in to the screw hole next to the original antenna connector and i think i may have damaged it. I put it in the correct connector and it found my carrier but with only a low signal, one or two bars sometimes no service. I tried to make a call but it instantly said call failed after a few minutes i was able to make a call. I asked them to call me back which it did call on their phone but no activity on mine so it just went straight to voicemail. I reinstalled the old faulty part and the phone antenna worked good as new other than the doggy lightning port. So i put it down to me damaging the antenna connector. So i brought a new one from amazon as the part was now out of stock on iFixit. I followed the same steps and put the antenna in the correct place with no force and still having a problem.

iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.2
