796 is much later than any Monster I have experience of, but the basics should apply.
The fuel pump should fill the fuel rail upon turning on the ignition. There will be a short buzz from the fuel pump, audible with the cap open, which will stop when pressure is achieved. Then it should be good to go.
You may have the fuel pipes reversed between flow and return? although not sure if that makes any difference as the fuel rail is a loop anyway?

You could very well have a pipe pinched when the tank is lowered, this is very easy to do and somewhat hard to check with the tank down, although I have no idea how the later bikes are configured, so it's just a matter of your carefully checking what you can see.

Did you reconnect the electric supply to the fuel pump?
