you can buy a new speaker

I took the front panel off my computer case yesterday to clean out all
the dust. The little button speaker happened to be embedded in the
panel, and the wires to the motherboard broke off of it. The two wires
are attached to a little plate, which must have been glued onto the
speaker. I looked at the patterns of the glue on the plate and the
speaker, and I figured out how the plate should align with the speaker
(the + wire matches up with one of the holes, and the - wire matches up
with the other hole; the other side of the speaker says which hole is +
and which is -). But after supergluing the plate back on and plugging
it back into the motherboard, I didn't hear any beeps when booting up.
Any ideas on what I did wrong?

Here's a picture of the speaker and the plate, with arrows showing how
I aligned the wires with the holes:
