One thing I've been guilty of is failing to remove all of the protective film that comes on a replacement part; it's easy to overlook and I wanted to slap myself in the forehead when I realized I had to take it all apart again just to peel of a piece of plastic.

I don't know if you bought yours from iFixit or not, but if you did, it looks like there's a piece of plastic on the inside of the camera peephole that needs to come off. Here's a picture from the iFixit shop; I've put an arrow pointing to the piece that has to be removed.

Of course, all the blue film needs to come off too, but that's a lot more obvious.
There is probably a film on the outside of the lens as well, but they usually make that transparent so you wouldn't see a full black screen if that was the problem, although the picture would be blurry.
If you didn't buy your screen from iFixit, go back to the original site and zoom in on the inside of the camera lens and see if you can tell if it's got some kind of cover or protection on it; if so, you'll most likely have to open the phone up again to remove it.
I hope that's not the case, but if it is, at least it's an inexpensive fix outside of your time.

Good luck; let us know how it goes!
