Default 96 civic. Cluster doesn't light up after dash swap

I just got done swapping out my dash to replace the passenger side air bag. After I got done, the cluster would no longer light up with the parking lights/head lights. I already pulled the cluster back out to make sure it was plugged in properly. Does anyone know off the top of their head what plugs would affect if the cluster lights would come on. The cluster still works; the tach and all of the little lights (Blinkers, CEL light, etc...) so it's definitely plugged in, just no parking lights.

Also, the warning beep noise that comes on when you leave your lights on and open the door no longer comes on; I figured it may be related. If I don't get any responses soon I'm probably just going to have to unplug everything under the dash and re-plug it back in to see if it helps but I figured I would try to get a specific plug to check first. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

NVM guys. It was one of two things I think(or both I suppose). First, I looked at the fuses, then I realized that the fuse puller was in a weird spot, like where a plug would go if the car had more features maybe?? So I moved that and then the warning beep was working fine when the door was open with the lights on. Then I changed out the dimmer switch and the gauges would then light up with the parking lights/headlights.
