I replaced the screen and digitizer but when I tried to power up, nothing happens. I thought it was a low battery issue so I left it charge overnight. Still nothing. I put this battery into another Nexus 7 to see if it is a battery problem. That Nexus booted up and shows the battery at 100%. So the battery did charge as it should. I tried putting the battery from the second Nexus into the first Nexus and It does nothing. I have checked all of my connections several times and everything seems to be fine. It did power up before I replaced the screen and digitizer.Any ideas?
[Q] New screen/digitizer, now nothing happens

This might be a hike but try using the old digitizer. It's very possible you have a bad digitizer since the battery charged full.
Its possible it has turned on but the screen isn't working try plugging into a computer and see if it recognises anything

OK if you have two nexus try swapping the motherboard over try not to bend the springs on the mb for the circuits on the back they are made of phosphor bronze and break easily

One thing I would like to add. When I was charging the battery, I did not have the back cover on completely and I could faintly a voice saying "alert". When I snapped the cover back on I could no longer hear it and it charged. Does that "alert" mean anything?
I've never heard of that before. The nexus should function without the back although WiFi NFC and Bluetooth won't work as the antenna's are attached to the back

I did get my laptop to recognize the N7.
I got a new LCD flex cable and still nothing.
I put the new S/D into my working N7 and all I get is a screen that is half black on left side and half on right side looks like the backlight is on and nothing else. So is the S/D defective?

Sounds like the screen/digitizer is defective. Return it for a refund or exchange.
