Replaced iPod 5g with 256gb SSD, new battery...not working

Hello,

I'm a novice repairman for this, but I read on how to repair an old iPod, I tried with my old 5th gen iPod Classic 30g. I bought a 256gb Toshiba SSD, a 40-pin adaptor, and a new battery. I used the tools, opened it up, replaced the battery, connected the adaptor/SSD to the iPod 40-pin cable, and put it back together. It doesn't look like I damaged anything in the process.

So far the computer will not recognize the iPod and the iPod screen cycles between "very low battery" and the sad iPod face. I double checked all the connections and they look good. the SSD/adaptor/battery are all new and should be compatible. I cannot get the iPod into disc mode and cannot use disc utility.

Any ideas on what I did wrong? Does the SSD have to be formatted ahead of time? I thought I could use disc utility and do that. I hope I didn't just waste a lot of money on non-compatible items. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
