Default AC is only coming out of defroster vents Need to figure out why.

As soon as I finished installing the afr 165s on my car the AC from the main vents no longer works. When I was finishing up putting the car back together I remember knocking a nipple off the passenger side in the engine bay and couldn't figure out where it went. I am guessing that has something to do with it. I know it is common for the hard line coming from near the heater core lines to a post on the driver side to be broken, but I checked that and it is not. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

that is the same line I am talking about, but I went over it again and found the problem. Where it goes into the vacuum tree it was snapped near the end. So I put a new end on it and I ducktaped a hole it had in another spot lol. After repairing it, the vents work again.

Look along the line for holes, a decent sized hole would make it so they don't work as well.
