Take it off and look at the terminals inside the plug. One must be bent.

Is that a new or replacement control panel or the original one just getting reinstalled? If a replacement it could have a slightly different plug latching tab.....?

Its the original it looks like there are some tiny blocks keeping it from going all the way down. And when I plug it in the blower does not come on

Lets back up a bit, What brought you to the second row controls in the first place? Were you troubleshooting a no-op blower from the start?
You do know that the dash (master) controls have to be on calling for something, IE: heat, AC, vent, following that the controls over the rear view mirror (master slave) need to be set to REAR before the second row (slave) control you are holding is active.

I was not having any issue I took it down to paint the housing. Now when trying to put it back. I can not get the plug to go all the way on and the rear blower will not come on.

Take a pic of the top of the plug where the plugs lock tab is after you have plugged it in like you showed first.

The lock tab is about to hit the switch body already, so it appears, and can't go any further.
