It's at the bottom of the written install instructions. Took me a while to find too.
Does that correspond to the hearts though? If I don't have a heart on one signal is that going to help?

Yes, the hearts are for the 8 of each R, G, and B.
Any FMV sequence I have found is 24bit. Which is most intros of games, like FF7 etc.
Great! I have tomb raider 2 and it does have an FMV sequence that is compatible. I now see that G3-G5 are not lighting up. I've checked those connections with a multimeter and resoldered them as well but I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm thinking I just need a new flex cable at this point.
Are they shorted together?
Can you try a different game for me and also take a pic of the test/info screen and post it here.
The video data might not be changing on the LSB. In some games you might see X's during black segments or lesser colors displayed. It doesn't make sense to have R7/G7/B7 be the only failures.

It's G3 - G5 that isn't lighting up. Also I randomly found an ea sports game.
Can you check analog video and see if the analog has the same color issue.
Is this also in the analog video? I can't tell if the pictures are analog or hdmi output.
Since the green issue is different now, redo the test with the game. Im guessing its an issues with joints on the flex still. But rerun the fmv test and see if the points have changed.
Also just trying pressing down on the gpu flex while the console is running. If you see a change in the video then you have weak connections.

The green issue went away some time back. These recent tests are without it. I can press all the way down with no change in video. Now before when I pressed down I would see a change. I actually had it perfect in terms of that color banding issue. I would see it switch back and forth.
In terms of the flex cable. I have soldered every point on it at least 5 different times at this point. Thats why I think I just need a new flex cable.

What does the FMV test give you now
Can you remove the PS1D board all together, and lets do some quick checking on it.
Make sure G3/G4/G5 have no continuity. Also double check these points again GND and 3.3V Let me know your results.
