Front Fan and Left fan not working
I just finished building my printer, and when I went to do the calibration, I ran into an issue with the fans. At first, they were switched (which was my mistake) but after I switched them to their normal position, the printer no longer recognizes them. I'm pretty sure they are plugged in all the way, but I'm not hearing a clicking sound and I don't want to push them in anymore incase I accidentally damage the board.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Photos might help. Run the wizard again and see if they turn on.

@cwbullet
Here are two pictures. The first is a small piece of plastic that fell out of the bracket from the PCB board, the second is the actual board. After looking a little more, it seems that the Bracket that the left hotend fan would be plugged into. I'm not sure what I should do about this.

Even with the locking tab broken on the fan connector the fan should work fine.
Are you sure you are plugging in the fan connector the right side up? Check the wire colors in this picture from the manual.
The front fan connector you have plugged in is the wrong way around. Please be careful plugging things in. There isn't much force needed to plug in a connector.
And pinch the locking tab when you pull a connector out.
If you get it working a little hot glue can be used to keep the connectors with a broken locking tab in place.

BTW the pictures you took look like from a MK3 and not a Mini.
The info I gave is from a MK3.
Did you post in the wrong forum section or do you have a Mini and I mistakenly identified it as a Mk3?
