Unhappy OH Ohhhhhhhh!!!

OK. In the attachment is a shot of the back of my Cluster, the odo/dte to be exact. I have recently replaced all the globes, but these 2, with LEDs. While I had the Cluster out, thought I'd have a look at the globes behind the odo/dte, took the globe out, everything looked pretty normal I guess, put it back in and proceeded to replace the Cluster. Once in, I noticed that the globe no longer worked and thought that I must have damaged it some how. So dismantled the cluster again, removed the globe from the opposite side and swapped them over only to find that it didn't work either, so put them back in there rightful places and now have no light from my odo/dte at all grrrrrrrrrr.
The only thing I can think of is that I have damage the circuit board where the arrows are pointing to. After removing, there seems to be 2 silver strips on either side of the opening that must be contacts for the holder. I've scratched these with a pair of tweezers that I used to twist the globe holders out of there seat. Does anybody know about these things? Have I screwed the pooch on this one???
Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :
