I recently replaced the fan in my laptop and now when I turn it on it shows error code 3F0 which pretty much means there's no OS.
To replace the fan I had to remove my hard drive, could that have damaged it?
What should I do?

Does the laptop a) not detect a hard drive at all, b) detect a hard drive but can't read it?

The first step would probably be to check the drive/connectors/motherboard for obvious damage like scratches or warping

I did a memory test on the hard drive and it passed so I believe it is detecting the hard drive.
I tried removing and installing the hard drive twice and did not see any noticeable damage.
