Default Power steering issue after after clutch replacement

The power steering was working fine before I replaced the clutch, flywheel, and installed a ZSpeed CMAK. I did not touch the steering rack during the removal of the transmission. The fluid level in the power steering reservoir is adequate, and the tires have sufficient air pressure.

However, after the job, the power steering feels very heavy, like it's not functioning properly. The car is still drivable, but the steering is noticeably off-there's resistance and some free play. I'm perplexed because I didn't touch the steering rack or any related components during the clutch job. There is no check engine light.

Is there a plug on the transmission harness that could be related to the power steering that I should check? Or possibly a fuse somewhere that could be the culprit?

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
