I was having issues with the internet when going back to ofw after running cfw for a few months. I just bought animal crossing and wanted to install via the eshop so I went back to the original firmware to do that. It wasnt working so I reset the console without deleting save data. I then realized I have a NAND backup that I could restore. The restoring of the backup worked and was able to launch cfw again. I then turned off the console and can now not seem to turn it back on.

Was the backup of a lower firmware, and if so, did you restore firm0/firm1 as well?

emuNAND is recommended, so that you can keep your sysNAND clean for online use, and isolated from your CFW activities.

It was a lower firmware yes, and I made sure to restore everything. I just bought an rcm jig and it arrived today, and it seems that I am able to boot into rcm and hekate

Excuse me, did you have autorcm on?
If not, then you could have burned the fuses, hence the switchs failure to boot.
I just got it to launch rcm and am now in hekate

The reason I ask is because firm0/firm1 isn't backed up with the rawnand, they need to be backed up separately.
