Help!! Platinum Interior Swap Issues.

Hello to all!

I have recently swapped my 2018 Ford F250 Lariat Base Model to have Platinum seats. My Lariat Base model came with leather seats, but no heated or cooled seats functions. I found some used 2018 platinum seats and a used 2018 king ranch ultimate interior cabin wiring harness. After plugging everything in (A real pain in the hinder that I have promised to myself to never take on again), the Lariat dash figured out the lumbar movement for both front seats and driver's side massage function on the screen. The screen will not turn on the passenger seat massage feature. I used ForScan to enable "multi contoured seats", "enhanced Multi-contoured seats", and "heated and cooled icons on screen". The climate-controlled seat buttons on the screen work, as in light up when pressed and automatically turn on with weather conditions, but do not actually turn on the seats. I have checked the climate-controlled seat fuse (#55 - 30Amp), and it is not blown or damaged, I have checked all plugs under the seats, and they all seem to work fine. I have also unplugged, check wires for any signs of burn/corrosion/looseness, checked plugs for any burns, and reconnected them, but that has not done it either. Using ForScan, I was able to check the DTC codes. It showed me 2 codes: #1 Lost Communication with seat module A (APIM U0208:00-0B), and #2 Camera Module (BdyCM B115E:08-48). I believe that when I was reinstalling the dash, I broke/damaged the clock spring located behind the steering wheel. I have read that this would cause a steering angle issue, which leads to an airbag light and the camera not having the adaptive lines when reversing and turning the steering wheel. Which also leads to service advance trac system warning, which leads to hill start assist unavailable warning, all of which I am experiencing.

So, to sum everything up, the issues are listed below:

#1 - Lost Communication with seat module A (APIM U0208:00-0B)
#2 - No Massage Seat Function for Passenger Seat
#3 - No Heated or Cooled Front Seat Functions
#4 - Camera Module (BdyCM B115E:08-48)
#5 - Clock Spring broken/damaged (believed to cause issue #4, #6, #7, #8, and #9)
#6 - Steering Angle Issue
#7 - Air bag Light
#8 - Service Advance Trac Warning
#9 - Hill Start Assist Unavailable Warning

Please send some help and/or suggestions! I remember seeing a forum somewhere about someone entering in codes to ForScan for an issue/situation similar to this one (think the codes started with a 7), but I can't find that thread now. Thanks in advance!
Thanks so much for reading, Be Blessed!

There are buttons on the center stack for heated and cooled seats. Chances are if you don't have those, they wont work. They are part of the circuit and control the functions.
