Idk, maybe hold the power button instead of jitter clicking it? It could also just be some loose cables. Like maybe the cpu cables from the psu aren't connected to the motherboard.

First thing I'd check is if the front panel power switch is properly plugged into its place on the board. I've made the mistake before of mixing that with the reset switch and being very confused.

Like the other commenter mentioned, I'd also try holding the button a bit longer just to make sure a solid path is made for the power signal to turn on the system.

If those don't work, you can always try bridging the power switch pins on the motherboard to see if its a board fault or a front panel fault.

After that, I'd start unplugging components one by one (i.e. RAM sticks, GPU, SSD) then trying to turn it on to see if any of them have developed an internal short.

Hopefully this helps! Best of luck with finding the cause and bringing the system to life
