It looks like I may still have some bridging behind the pins. Not sure how I'm supposed to get that, any suggestions?

If you flood it with flux and reflow the outside then heat should conduct through and retract solder onto the pads, but that may not be what we are looking at here.
I have seen cases where people have shifted a GPU pin off the pad on an N64 and the pad is so thick that the leg catches the side when you attempt to straighten it. Even when everything is fully flowed/melted, straightening the pin results in moving the pad instead (delaminates from the board). You have to lift the pin first. Delaminated pads almost invariably cause shorting.
I’ve had to remove the GPU entirely, straighten every pin, glue down the pads, and solder it down again (no drag soldering on repaired pads!)..
I have not found that to be the case for PSX GPU pins but what I see behind those pins looks strangely familiar. Definitely try flux and reflow with enough heat to flow the entire pad before the flux inactivates.
