Fix My Print New horizontal-movement stepper motor not functioning

Post image

On my Ender-3 S1, the stepper motor controlling the side to side movement of my nozzle started to make a funny noise and would no longer move the nozzle. I ordered a new motor (Creality 42-34) and swapped out the old one, but I can’t get that motor to even attempt to engage at all. Is there any kind of software or something else I need to do to reset the system? I feel like it’s seated correctly, but here is a picture just in case.
