Default Rear Brake not working after replacing rear wheel

When i mounted my rear wheel back in I took the top of the caliper off to get the disc inbetween the pads, and reinstalled it after i got the wheel axle back in, What could i have done to make the rear brake not work? the brake light doesnt come on when i press the brake and it doesnt squeeze the disc, does anyone have any suggestions for this?

I'm not to familiar with what everything is called, but it's the piece that wraps around the back of the brake pads, have a big round hole in it, I prolly sound like a jackass but I can take pictures tonight
