Interesting repair. My favorite youtuber is back again. Thanks to your videos I fixed my first 2 PS5 hdmi port repalcement this week. I have an EDM10 also, but my short is on the 1V coils. My 12V rail is fine. I don't know if any of the mosfets or a cap is short. I have the short on all the coils on both sides of the board near to the main 12V coil. I hope my apu isn't short because the usb ports were physically damaged but are not shorted when I test with meter. Where can I inject voltage to see if the mosfets, cap or apu is gone?
@ToltecMerc

You can expect to measure about 0.2 ohm on the 6-phase rail and about 4 ohm on the 2-phase rail. If that is close to what you measure, your problem is elsewhere.

Despite the excellent suturing and healing work...requiem. Of course it's educational. I didn't know about that important IC on this PCB, although the manufacturer Infineon DOES (mainly in SMPS for TVs and DVD players). Thank you very much for sharing (soldering technical skill and electronic component part numbers). Another way of saying it, with you sir we always learn something, regardless of the final result.

The board is charred between the layers. The charring is conductive and thus giving the 12V short to ground. I may yet revisit that board and try to dig out more charring. I will need to the fill the board with some epoxy to give some strength to that area of the board but it's possible.
