When you did this cleaning was the power off ? Did you check the USB motherboard connector to make sure that it didn't loosen while you were cleaning.
Try a bios reset to see if it is just a shorting of the port that is the issue. The liquid should be evaporated by now.

Hey, power was off and all unplugged. I'll check the wire when I get home but I just used the air even on the motherboard. Deffo good call on the bios check tho. So what's worst case scenario?

If your computer is working and the cleaning did not short it our the worst case is that the front ports got damaged and won't work. When checking the bios make sure that the USB is enabled. If the front is the only USB ports not working then the issue is with the ports and the connection to the MB so I don't know if that unit is replaceable but you may be able to get something that will install in one of the front bays that will provide a couple of USB ports.
