Hi well unless maybe a water hose got damaged during the repair. Then plugs can, t cause this. Look for a coolant leak and possibly a new fan motor

Possible head gasket or cracked head especially if there is no visable leaks. The heating system won't work right if low on coolant or there is air in the system.
