Default AC Vents not working after head unit install

I put in a new dual din head unit the other day, and ever since air wont blow out of the dash vents. It works on the floor just fine, but I can't figure out why. Figured id ask on here before I ripped the whole thing apart

I hear it blowing behind the head unit, but it's not just the two center vents, its all 4 on the dash...

Take out the glove box, and look in the area of the Air Distrobutiion box. You should identify where the MODE cable connects to a white wheel that turns to direct airflow.

Now turn the MODE knob and you should see the white wheel spin as it changes the flow from floor to dash then to defogg. If it doesn;t move then the cable poped off somewhere, if it does then it may be inside the distrobution box itself.
