Hey all. I replaced the tim on my MBP at the weekend because the fans were spinning up too much and cpu temps a bit high. Laptop is on most of the day and evening and the tim had indeed dried out. All came apart ok and went back together fine. However since then the Touch Bar is on and changes with apps but doesn't respond to touch. I've tried resetting Touch Bar in Terminal but I get "no matching processes were found".
sudo pkill TouchBarServer;
sudo killall “ControlStrip”;

I've also reset the NVRAM and a SMC reset

Can anyone point me the ribbon/connector for the Touch Bar? Maybe I've not connected it properly, although the fact its on does seem odd. Any other suggestions welcome.

Oh running Catalina 10.15.3
