Arrow Changed bulbs in my cluster, now temp gauge is broke WTF?

I just got finished changing the lights in ym cluster, its my 3rd time doing it as I replaced bulbs twice and then today swapped in LED's , now the needle on my temp gauge shoots straight up as soon as the car gets power. I dont see anything I could have done wrong, Theres only 3 clips back there and i attached them all. Any ideas?

Most likely problem is failing to securely tighten the five screws that act as pin connections in the back of the gauge. Pull it apart again and make sure those screws are snug.
