Default car won't start, help needed

hey guys i own a 94 civic coupe. it has a jdm d15b in the car, but everything else is oem. i have been driving it with no issues but tried to start it this morning and it woult not start.

i hear no click so i tried to jump start it, that did no good and got the battery tested and the battery is perfectly fine. the starter was replaced around 5 months ago with a brand new one, at the same time as the battery.

everything powers up and works fine, but when i try to turn it over i hear no sounds. i can hear the fuel pump prime but that is about it. any suggestions? i'm at a loss at the moment.

The red arrow points to a rubber stopper that presses on the starter switch at the top of the clutch pedal. Did it fall out or break?
