Default Dash lights went out when headlight switch broke... ?

All right so the other day I had just put new LEDs in my dash instrument cluster. It was working great, looked beautiful and I went to turn the headlights off and my switch broke. I was able to put it back together as best I thought and today went to try it out and the headlights turn on etc. but the dash lights will not light. I’ve heard of like the dimmer switch or something but mines an ‘88 I don’t think it has that? Is there something missing in the photo that makes the dash lights turn on? The warning lights work in the cluster and tach etc works but no green lighting. Also the lights in the center console aren’t working nor is the hazard switch, once it happened. It looked great for a few minutes.
