Thanks so much for the speedy reply, to be honest I did not expect to hear anything until Tuesday! I have attached some pictures to this post. And for what its worth, I am immensely pleased with my experience so far, I think this problem is really just the fact that I have not worked with complex (for me at least) electronics before, and likely made a mistake. Let me know if you need better pictures or different angles.
Also, what I have seen from the multimeter so far, after this event, is that touching the red lead on the multimeter (with the black lead is grounded) to each of the 3 points the switch is soldered on the board I get the following readings:
Point farthest from metal chassis: ~122V
Point in between to others: ~122V
Point closest to chassis: ~.34V (maybe this is the issue? I am out of my depth)
