i Drained the caps and measured the resistances:

B+ to Heat sink is 6ohms and seemed to be slowly falling the longer I held the multimeter there but may have been more of a hover.

M- to heat sink is 20 ohms steady

B- to heat sink started at 41ohms and quickly rose up to 427 ohms and stayed there. After going B- to heat sink I now had 0.296v stored in the caps. I assume the voltage and the rising resistance had to do with the multimeter pumping power in to measure the resistance?

So what does all of this mean? I feel like I knocked the assembly of the controller out of the park so I'm not instantly ready to say the issue is from shotty workmanship. Do these readings point to a specific area where the problem may be?

Thanks for the help!
