Heatbed cable disconnected

Finished building the kit a few days ago and tried 2 basic tests
i.e. Prusa logo, Frog

The next time I tried to print, the heat bed measured 26 degrees and went up to only 33 (room temp).
It wouldn't go further, even after 5 minutes.
(no issues with the Hotend)

After checking the fuses and RAMBo connections, I noticed a sensor (probably for temperature) was disconnected from the bed.
Not sure how it normally attaches as I can't see any solder marks and it doesn't look like it screws in.
Can't remember it being like that when I built it.

Anyone else have issues with this or does it just float near the underside of the bed?

Yes, that was the cause.

Looks like the cable got caught on the frame during the previous print and got pulled off the bed.
Reattached it and hopefully secured it where it won't happen again.

Thanks again!!
