Ok I have the resistors in the right spots now here is what I got.
A socket.             D socket
1a 519                 1a 519
Oa 298.                Oa 349
All the led's light up

OK, well the side with 298V is likely working properly.  What are the Kreg voltages on the side with 349V at OA?  Does the 5670 glow on that side of the amp?

The 5670 on that side lights up Kreg A 3.75V Kreg B is 15V

Any further advice?

You had said before that both sides light up...

On the side with the OA at 349V, can you report both Kreg voltages on that side?

Kreg A 3.75V
Kreg B  15V

Those voltages suggest that that C4S board should be working, so I'd be looking for missing jumpers or a broken wire that's not allowing the regulator to pull things down properly.

Kreg b on the right channel is 7V kreg b on the left channel is 15V, is this right?

What OB voltages do you see on each side?

A side OB 174V
D side OB 176V

7V is the correct value.  15V means that you have a bunch of current being sucked down somewhere else. 

On the 9 pin socket on the side with 15V, there is a little resistor that connects to the earth lug on the 5 pin terminal strip holding all the zener diodes.  What is the DC resistance between the star ground screw in the center of the chassis and that terminal where that resistor connects?  This connection not being 100% would prevent the 5670 regulator half from doing its job properly.

I get O ohms there

Would a bad 431 regulator on that side cause this?

I've never seen a 431 fail in the way you're describing.  I suspect a broken wire or missing jumper on the C4S board.

CS4 jumpers look good to me and don't see any obvious miswires or broken wires, checked them for continuity. Any clues where else I could look?  It is probably something simple , just not finding it.
