Nexus 5 front camera issue after changing the screen

So I dropped my phone last week and the screen cracked so I decided to have my screen( + display) changed.
The guy fixed it quickly and when I got my phone back I accessed the front camera and it was working, but when I arrived home I noticed that it wasn't working anymore. (Error- can't connect to camera) I disabled the camera app, I wiped the cache in recovery mode and I even installed other camera app to check if the front camera is really the problem... So, why did it work the first time I checked and then stopped working?

Also, I noticed that the touch screen isn't working that well... :(
Is it possible that the phone wasn't reassembled properly?

thank you!

Are you sure that damage other than that to the screen was not caused by the impact?

Re: Nexus 5 front camera issue after changing the screen

Yes, I am absolutely sure, cause I was able to take pictures with my front camera after the screen broke, everything worked just fine...
I was thinking of doing a factory reset but I don't think that will work. Or perhaps I should try?

It's very frustrating cause I have a red Nexus 5, and the guy replaced my red frame with a black one.
