It helps to pay high attention to detail when taking things apart ... and take pictures. Really helps with reassembly. Even with that it can be a pain lol. I recently did bars on my 21 King. If I remember correctly there were plugs for heated grips - if you do not have heated grips that may explain what you are seeing. Not knowledgeable at all on that year, I'm sure someone who knows will respond soon.

Yup , like said above , that plug is for heated grips , guessing you don't have any .
I've done a dozen or more bar changes , the green connector , once unattached can cause issues . Before you button everything up , power up your bike , check for codes and make sure everything is running / working properly . Also , it would be a good idea to use some shrink wrap or electrical tape over that connector , just as a precaution if you decide to keep it .
I have always cut and soldered those wires , removing the green connector all together , never had an issue .
