FIXED!!
I narrowed it down to the driver's side window switches.
Probably in the process of putting the door card back on I must have crushed the wires or just about ran the machine screw in next to them to reveal a super tiny piece of copper on the grey/blue cable.

All the dash lights are on again!

Thank you so much for your guidance in troubleshooting this iichel!

Cheers buddy, the other red/white wire in the background doesn't look very healthy either

Yeah they're all a bit mashed up.

I've covered them in liquid insulation and will leave that to dry. Then wrap each individual cable with some harness tape and wrap them all more than they were to prevent causing myself this issue again!
