Turns out this issue has been fixed. The fix for this shorting issue was simply brushing the LCD Connector on the mainboard with IPA and a toothbrush and it no longer shorted out. I also was able to fix the no backlight issue. Thanks to @oldturkey03 for the guidance. The fix was replacing a shorted capacitor in the LCD Control board (within the screen on the board where the cable connects). I only found a shorted cap on the VLED output and replaced it. After replacing the cap, the voltage for VLED is still low. I never found any other shorted cap on the screen board, so I started looking for shorts in the Mainboard. I wasn't able to find a schematic for this laptop, only a board view file which is linked in the comments, and I figured out that the LCD Voltage on the mainboard is related to capacitors only. I measured the capacitors that the board view indicated, and I didn't find a short anywhere replated to that net. Then I had an idea to run a Jumper wire to the nearest AC_BAT_SYS capacitor which outputs...
I found it. So you open the kickstand and it will reveal the screws. You just have to unscrew them and then pry the screen out of the back cover. Don't pull the screen too far as the display cable is kind of short. This reveals the motherboard. NVMe and Battery.
