Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52 sound, gpu and battery lights issue after opening the laptop

Hey folks, I've had my machine for about 4 years now and just changed the battery charging port because it had gotten loose. While I did it, I went in there and unscrewed the motherboard - though i later realized I didn't need to. Anyway, it's powering on and working fine for the most part, but i just realized i'm getting a discrete gpu is idle notification on my predatorsense which i don't think i saw happening before i opened it up for this op. second, my speakers (they were already not working very well) are now not working at all. i wonder if i disconnected something by accident and didnt reconnect it. same with battery charging lights - they aren't working anymore and i can't see them in the case so i'm wondering if i dropped them under the motherboard by accident. i dont have any acer technicians in my country so i won't be reaching out to one of those. can anyone help me and tell me where i can find my speaker connects? and also, what the battery LEDs look like? and if this discrete gpu is idle notif is normal. the gpu comes on now and then, but idk if that's normal, i think it used to always be connected and on before. thanks a bunch!

The GPU idling is fine, no need to worry about it.
For the indicators and speakers, make sure that the cable that connects between the USB board and the motherboard is secured. You can disconnect the cable and reconnect it again. The cable is underneath the SSD.
