Need help with a no start

I recently replaced everything gasket on my truck oil pan up to head gaskets, etc. Now I also installed stage 2 Injectors and also an adrenaline hpop with a stage 3 kc300x. The problem is that now I have it all together and attempted to try and start I get no start at all it'll just crank and crank and crank. It has a new hydra in it which I re tinned the pcm terminal to make good contact I tried starting it with the chip and without. Now the tunes I received were the wrong tunes as they were for a tde1 pcm instead of my mme2 but from my understanding that wouldn't necessarily matter and it should still turn on. One thing I noticed was that in the tunes I received the wts light would not turn on in any position except the 00 bypass position but would still not start and just crank, i then went on hydraflash and installed some tunes for my pcm code and on those tunes my wts will turn on but still no start. I had a buddy conduct a forscan test and oil pressure is up and all other parameters needed are also good he also did a buzz test and none of the injectors buzzed but I just received them from full force and I doubt they are defective at least not all at once. Now due to none buzzing and putting the hydra on the pcm he claims I probably fried the pcm and the idm but I wanted to get some more opinions as it seems weird to me and I personally believe it could be just the idm or simply having the wrong tunes was stopping the pcm from sending signal to the idm, I think the pcm is working as it should be since my wts light is working fine and I can hear the glowplug relay cycle and all that it just won't start. Any help would be greatly appreciated and any questions I will be glad to answer. Truck has been sitting for 3 months due to no time to work on it and it is really a annoying situation from not being able to drive it for so long.

I don't have a spare idm unfortunately, but my buddy said he'll bring one over soon as we both got time since he has plenty of obs 7.3 parts just laying around I did get some codes from the reader I'll do another read today and see which ones it throws up I also ordered a obdII myself to run forscan but ik I had good hpop pressure from a previous forscan read that he conducted
