my bad, I just had a typo but the connections were right.
TFTLCDCyg:
In these cases, the recommendation is to go wire by wire, disconnect everything if it does not work and review the wiring again.
Before discarding something, check everything as many times as necessary, maybe some mistake is being made and we do not see it with the naked eye
I disconnected everything, checked for continuity for each wire but nothing buzzed, rewired it but still did not work. I've ordered a new display. Hopefully, I'll get that one to work.
Update:
It appears that I broke the first TFT screen by supplying the wrong voltage when I first got it.
I ordered a new one and it works just fine.
Thanks to all who replied!
(I did a little victory dance when I got it to work)
