60" Vizio E600i-b3 vertical box left side of screen Can't Post

I got a Vizio E600i-b3 from work for free because it was broken. The colors were off and I figured I could fix it. When I got it home, to my surprise, it worked fine. After a week the color issue returned. I googled around for solutions and found it could be the tcon board. I ordered one from shopjimmy.com. While I waited I went ahead and took the TV apart to get ready for the new board. I read about making sure the cables were seated correctly, but none of that helped. At one point I didn't realize the tv was plugged in while I was removing the ribbon cables on the tcon board. There is now a vertical box on the left side of the TV. The new tcon did fix the color issue, but I get the vertical box with either of the tcon board installed. My fear is that I fried part of the panel while messing with the ribbon cables. What are your alls thoughts? Pictures below.

I was thinking of ordering the full repair kit from shopjimmmy.com which includes the power, control, and tcon boards. I wanted to see what your alls thought were before I spent $60 on it.

A quick update. I put the old tcon board back in to test the LVDS cable and when I wiggle the LVDS connector on the control board and the color fixes itself. When I unplug it the screen goes black and the vertical bar fades away. I don't know if this helps at all.

After unplugging the two ribbon cables on the tcon board going to the panel the screen in now all white. This makes me think the panel isn't bad, but I have no idea. With the LVDS cable unplugged the screen is backlit and all black

Do you all think the panel is bad?
