So I tried installing an sve dual electric fan myself, mind you I’ve never done any wiring on a car before, and I think I may have shorted it out but idk. The car won’t crank at all. I ordered a 130 amp alternator as well which I probably should’ve put in first but I wasn’t thinking so yeah... any answers to help me understand what happened would be greatly appreciated.

Find jrichkers no start checklist and get to work on it.
It will be a learning experience for sure, but it's probably what is needed in your situation.

It's likely not a major issue.

Is it a 'no crank' situation?
Turn the key, nothing happends?
Any lights on the dash?
Do the head lights work?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Well mine at least.
