Just recently built a pc and everything was powered and working correctly fans were spinning, everything was lighting up etc etc.

After receiving my ram today I connected it in the slot and still the pc had failed to post boot (red light on motherboard), after troubleshooting I had deduced it was because the cpu power connector was not connected (rookie mistake) and so I went to connect. Immediately after connecting it and pushing the power button the computer had turned on then shut off nearly instantly (although I had noticed the led on the motherboard was still red before it shut down) and now it won't turn back on again at all.

Specs:
Cpu: Intel g4560
Gpu: gigabyte GeForce 1050ti
Hdd: western digital 1tb
Psu: evga 400watts
Fans: 4 cooler master green led cooler fans
Ram: ballistic sport 8gb

What I'm wondering is if anyone has any idea where I went wrong? Is the Psu too weak? Do you need more information?

Sounds like it shorted out. First, study the linked thread and check if you connected everything as it should be. Also, you forgot to include motherboard in list.
