Help! I have no speedometer

kinda got the same situation. I pulled the motor and trans out to paint and install my shift kit. Trans works great, but now I have no speedo. I don't recall touching the speedometer housing at all, I only took out the valve body. So not sure why its not working If I didn't touch anything. Cable seems intact and I hear no noise to point out signs of binding. Should I try to reposition the connector (which i think yall are referring to as the big bolt on the end of the speedo cable) or move the housing like mentioned?
