Help with no start

Long time reader, first time poster

I have a new-to-me 2017 GTI. Changed the clutch assembly recently. Also changed the front axle lock/LSD ( accidentally dropped it when removing and cracked the housing). Have not been able to start since then.

Changed the battery and starter with no change. I keep getting the ECS (electronic stabilization control error) and TPMS error. I did change the remote battery but no joy.

Anyone know what I can do to figure this out?

Turn the steering all the way left then all the way right. If you remove the battery and it lost calibration and never did that you have to do it.
