The larger ribbon cable should be inserted with the contacts facing outwards away from the center of the drive.

also if you have a 225 laser the big ribbon must be centered

i'm confused what do you mean the position of the ribbon and i tried inserting the ribbon both ways and still not spinning is that the only reason for why it doesn't spin the disc?

Of course there could be other reasons. Maybe a broken wire to the CD lens stop sensor, broken CD lens/laser, torn ribbon cable for the lens, bad caps, bad chip, and or traces on the motherboard etc...
