This situation is quite unusual and shows strong commitment. Just to confirm, do you swap the cable that connects the PC components with the PSU? Even though the cables look similar across brands, each model has its own specific connector standard. Based on your experience testing three PSUs, it seems likely you also managed their cable organization.

Did you verify the power switch functionality? Also, you might be able to bypass the power switch by shorting the power pins on the front panel connector to attempt a boot without it.

I didn't verify that but I became upset and pressed the power button, it started working—no idea what caused it.

It was a mix of modules and some that weren’t, but I got frustrated and pressed the power button—it started working, no idea which part fixed it.

Maybe the power connections are a little wobbly, but at least it functioned now. Or, in anime style, you gained the strength of friendship and dealt with frustration, which solved every impossible issue.

Likely some dust or oxidation was blocking the connection. Applying pressure helped remove the contacts.
