The bulkhead connector at the tank is not particularly stout and would be the likely start point in your diagnosis.

the blue wire to the top of the tank is for the fuel level sending unit. check it for continuity to the top of the tank from it's connector under the carpeting at the LR strut tower.

it's likely the wiring just didn't get connected during the pump install, on the inside of the tank connectors.
