It is quite common for the wires into the left sided buttons to become loose when removed.

Only way to check is remove the left sided buttons, open up the plastic casing and see if one of the skinny black wires has detached from the internal plug.
Seen this with two used mk6 MFSW's.

When you remove the airbag a small round plug is fitted to a steel ring on the steering wheel itself, it loosens as you remove the airbag as the wiring for it is extremely short.

Danish, your my hero, I remember seeing that wire when I was fitting the wheel, and thought it was taped up as an ancilliary wire for something else, I will go and fit it now, thanks

I'm eager to remove, and check the wiring tomorrow as well.  I was in a rush to do the swap.
All 12 buttons work, except for the horn in my case.
