2008 mazda rx8 won't start (Fixed)

Hey, so I have a 2008 Mazda rx8, I've had my car for almost 2 years now. And I'm having issues with it. A few days ago, my car was having issues going into reverse and 1st gear when the car was on, looked at it, and relized my clutch pedal snapped, haven't driven my car in 3 days, when I ordered a new clutch pedal kit, I replaced the pedal, and the 2 sensor. But now my car won't start, I tested the clutch sensor, and the clutch safety switch, and they both work. And have voltage. When I go to turn the car on, I can hear the fuel pump working, but the car won't start. Like no turning over, not activity from the engine. Work I've done to the car
New coolant tank and sensor
New master cylinder
New slave cylinder
New ess sensor
New spark plugs, wires, and ignition coils
new battery
new clutch, pilot bearing, fly wheel
and cleaned the transmission
New 02 sensor (both)
New catalytic converter
New breaks and rotors
re did the heat sheild.
Nee break fluids
new transmission fluid
New differential fluid
New Ac kit, compressor, lines, valve, filter.
I've replaced the clutch pedal before, last year, got the part from a junk yard and it worked fine for months.


I plan on checking the fuses, and run a Diagnosis test on it, in the morning. But feel free to let me know what fuses to take extra attention to.

Update!!

So was messing around fuses look good, I decided to remove both clutch sensors, the brown one is hanging, and the clutch safety sensor *gray button one* I pressed with my hand and the car started.

Ao the kit had a faulty clutch sensor, went to use my old one. And I guess the clutch pedal wasn't pressing on it fully. Because my old pedal was bent, so it didn't take much effort to turn off the clutch safety sensor. And with the new pedal, I just needed to Ben the metal, so that it would engage the sensor.
