AIO15 and visual noise when throttling, bad qc?

This is more of a rant and a disappointment with HDZero. I've bought two AIO15s, and both have the same issue: visual noise/snow whenever I throttle up.

I've made sure all of the soldering was 100% correct, added a capacitor, and made sure none of the wiring was running over the board. I did extensive testing and found that on both AIO15s, two of the ESCs work perfectly fine when throttled individually through Betaflight, while the other two motors consistently produce snow/interference when I throttle them up individually. I made sure there was no nano solder bridges, it was clean.

The only AIO15 I've had that worked flawlessly was the one from an older Mob8 HDZero I had. I moved that AIO15 over to my Kayoumini, installed a new capacitor, soldered the same motors, same cap, and boom, NO NOISE. It felt great to fly.

At this point, I've tried everything I reasonably can on these two newer AIO15s, and the fact that the older AIO15 works perfectly in the exact same setup makes me seriously question the quality control on the aio15. Quick google shows I'm not the only one struggling.

I'm trying to love hdzero but that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. At least my freestyle v2 works flawlessly and get enjoyment out of that. I'll probably move away from aio15 and just use the woop vtx.
