Laptop can't see discrete graphics card

[NightBeam]

Hello, I am the owner of an HP Victus 15 laptop, RTX3050 video card, and Ryzen 5 5600H processor, 16GB of RAM. 
 After disassembling the laptop to clean and replace thermal paste, after assembly, the discrete video card stopped displaying (I wrote the name earlier).
 I have suspicions that it was simply disabled in the BIOS, but when I enter it I don’t see the “Advanced settings” section...
 And I can’t turn on the video card there... 
reinstall the drivers too, because it says to me: “you don’t have this video card,” or something like that. 
I ask you to help me with this... Thank you in advance♥️, I will wait for your answer🙏🏻
