In a number of these posts, I see a lot of hard work, but some of the basic best practices have not been followed:

In general it is good practice to physically isolate your high current components (battery,ESC, Motor) and related wiring from the low current components (receiver, gyro, antennas) and wiring. The three ESC to motor wires in particular generate lots of electrical noise. Todays receivers are more immune to interference, but if you have glitches, consider shifting the high current stuff to the front more and remember this guideline when running wires.

Gyros on top the boom block are at risk of a flybar strike. Tail servos on the right side of the boom are at risk as well. Any wires going under skids are at risk when you rip your skids off in a crash.

Hope this helps. Happy flying!
