Found an issue where if you plug a raspberry pi zero on the mod, plug it's power cord, it might slightly bend the pi down. The mosfet drain ends up touching the component between the two usb ports on the raspberry, shorting the raspberry and at the end destroying the mosfet.

Solution is rather easy, adding a spacer between the mod and the pi to forbid anything to move. Quite luckily, really, the pi zero hole lines up perfectly with the mod hole. What a lucky guy I am!
