when the cable 'touched the battery contacts' which side was connected (the Pi or the board with the M.2)?
is your Pi still working? maybe only the PCIe Interface is dead -> can still be used for other stuff
as you're able to still use the M.2 SSD that seems to be o.k.
what is a 'better ribbon cable'? and why did you messed up boot order? leave it on defaults, If you want to Boot from uSD simply insert it. If you want to boot from NVMe remove it.
Note: a non-bootable uSD can be used for storage when booting from NVMe
