The ribbon is THE connection for the keyboard. If it is not connected it will not work. It is a tricky ribbon. I usually use a plastic spudger behind the ribbon to help it get curved and then push it in with another spudger. Make sure to not damage the ribbon or the connector. Ribbon damage means new keyboard and connector damage means motherboard repair.
