broken lcd, ordered replacement is missing a harness at the top and middle. Identified top as face id sensors, cannot figure out middle. As of right now it will not power on, not sure if that missing is causing that issue as it worked fine just busted prior to lcd removal.?

You're likely right that the top connector belongs to the Face ID parts. Without seeing your exact model and the old screen side by side, it's hard to say what the middle one is. Replacement screens sometimes ship without small flex cables or brackets that have to be moved over from the original panel.

The power issue is a separate question. A missing display cable alone doesn't usually stop an iPad from powering on, so it's worth thinking about what else happened during removal. A torn flex, a connector pressed on while the battery was still connected, or a cable damaged by heat can each cause it.

Order the free 12.9-inch iPad Pro diagnostic and ship it with both the old screen and the new one. We'll identify the missing cable, check why it won't power on and quote before any work. We can install a part you supply but can't warranty it. If you decline, there's no bench fee, only return shipping.
