You're right, but only in the sense that panpsychism doesn't answer any questions. Literally any. The only thing it does is split the question of ‘where does human consciousness come from?’ into ‘how does human consciousness reduce to proton awareness?’ and ‘where does proton awareness come from?’
But you'll note that this is a harder question than the original, since it postulates more and conflicts with more evidence.
