They had trouble putting flight control computer back into rack. The problem was written on non routine because they had to turn it over. At the end of our shift after troubleshoot autoplt problem, a fellow mechanic adjusted flight control computer rack and reinstalled flight control computer. I released aircraft for return to service, failing to notice there was no maintenance included in aircraft package and the aircraft was not recertified to CAT IIIA status as required.
