Check the relay over there on the drivers side of the engine bay. Its between the degas bottle and air intake snorkel. Then check fuses.

If a diagnostic guy tells me to change a compressor because it isn't getting any power to the clutch, I'd look for a new diagnostic guy and be suspicious of any other checks he did.

spacing between clutch and compressor is too great, remove a washer? Give it a light tap inward with a hammer to see if it engages, if it does, you need to remove a washer to reduce the gap. plenty of youtube videos on this procedure.
