No heat! New thermostat, coolant flush and the heater core is hot and both hoses are hot. I manually opened the blend door and no luck. It blows air it's just cold. I don't know what else to try. Is it maybe a vacuum hose? Someone help

I have the dash apart trying to get at the heater core but there's a screw on the heatercore cover I can't get to. It's on top in the middle and I can't get a screwdriver in there. Any suggestions? It looks like the cover is cracked at the bottom. Will that affect the heat? Also when I have the heat on full and switch from hot to cold there's no difference in the sound. Is the blend door vacuum?
