Solved - Need help with a -15 and GND short

I'm getting close to finishing up a Nava build. I shouldn't have been so confident in doing the initial testing - I smelled some smoke and heard a buzzing sound coming from the main board.

There were a few IC's I had oriented wrong in the crash section, so I pulled those out. They weren't hot or burn't, but I'll likely replace them anyways.

I have a short between GND and -15 on the main board. I'm going to be digging through the schematics - but I was wondering if anyone could help point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

Short mystery. I pulled all the 0 ohm resistors until I got to the low tom section and the short disappeared. At that point it was easy to trace the issue to a bad solder joint.

Now onto figuring out what I fried.
