Chosen Solution
I have an iPhone 7 Plus that I am trying to replace the home button of. I have purchased two different home buttons and so far neither of them have worked. They were supposed to restore the home button click but not Touch ID. The only thing that I can see causing this would be the aftermarket screen that is on the phone. Based on the reviews it seems that I am the only one having this issue.
The aftermarket screens are fine with any universal home button. The most common cause you are facing is a tear in the home button flex cable coming from the screen to the home button connector on the logic board. These tears usually happen at the 90 degree bend. Sometimes they are that small you may need magnification to spot it. If this is the case you will need to purchase another screen.
