Do you see anything at all connected to other pins on the 1X2 socket? Pins 3 and 7 are not used for anything, so they would be free to use as tie points for unrelated stuff, although I don't recall seeing any such things on a HV rectifier socket before.

Pin 5 is empty in the socket, no connection there. On my picture I should have drawn the connection from pin 6 to pin 8 AROUND the flyback instead of next to it. It wraps around the flyback but it is not connected to it. All of those connections read infinite impedance to ground by my meter.
R95 is actually reading around 3.6 ohms which is right at 20%. Possibly this should be changed but could that little fluctuation in tolerance possibly be the entire cause of the problem?
