PS3 Finding shorted problem on PS3 DIA-002 board

So my CECHK01 PS3 had a YLOD, and after checking SYSCON I replaced the NECTOKINS on the bottom of the console and it booted right up, I played Minecraft for a good bit and then I tried out black ops 1, unfortunately the console randomly shut off without warning, no YLOD, no beeps no nothing, as if the console was disconnected from power, after turning it back on the console just immediately shuts off without a yellow light or anything, just turns right off after attempting to power it on. I asked about the issue on Reddit and was told that there is a short on the board so I'm looking to try and fix it. I haven't spotted any burn marks but if someone find anything odd in the board it would be appreciated! Here is a picture of the board of both sides and a link to the Reddit post where you can see a video of the console not doing anything.

This is the 12v shorting, check the nectokins you soldered to see if it is shorting to ground, I think you can remove them to see if you can eliminate the shorting.
 
Looking at the images, I think you added too many capacitors, they say this forces the rest of the circuit causing a short, the ideal would be to put 10/12 so many on this side of the board, always keeping the capacitance closer to the original...
