Monitor 5 needs repair

I recently moved to a house where I have a great space to listen to music. While moving and adjusting my 5's one of them tipped back and hit the wall.
This caused the magnet on the tweeter to come off. I took the speaker apart and re-attached the magnet.
However, now the speaker sounds weak, tinny, low volume. I don't believe the large speaker is working. Possibly the magnet hit the crossover electronics and did something but there is no visable damage.
Anyone have any ideas on what could be broken?
(this really sucks because I've waited years to be in a place with a great listening room)
Thanks!

Use the passive to test for MW magnet shift. If the tweet mag fell off, most likely the MW shifted as well. Repair isn't difficult.

Thank you! Being new to all of this, I'm not familar with "passive test" "MW magnet shift"
is there instruction for this somewhere?

Passive test: apply inward pressure to the passive radiator (bottom most black roundy thing) and look for free easy movement of the MW (mid-woofer). Only the tweet and MW have magnets, if the MW magnet shifts, it locks the voice coil and the diaphragm can't move to create sound.

Thanks again, so I find no vibration in the MW (but there is weak sound coming out) how to unlock the voice coil?

Search for shifted magnet repair and my screen name, and it should pop up.
