Dismantle it again. Reassemble it correctly. You will most likely have some internal component out of place, and it is stopping the keyboard from functioning.

It is not a good idea to disassemble keyboards for cleaning!

What did you use to clean the keyboards? Air or some kind of liquid?

Are these desktop or laptop keyboards.
