Finally! So from my last comment on @flannelist helpful answer, I headed towards that MAX77958 chip. Took it off and measured VBUS (pin A6/top right) and that pin was shorting to ground. And it had that same 7ohm resitance to it. So now what!? I found a capacitor near the usb-c port that was also shorting. It was a 1206 or 0805 capacitor and I think taking it off and measuring it, it was 10uF (can't remember too well to be sure of that value). Shorting, just like the others with the same ohmic value. So I felt like I'm getting closer and then I follow further up that shorted capactiors's track and it lead to a diode (D51). That was shorting, with the same ohmic value. Took it off and no difference. From here I should have realised the answer but like a dummy I went for the ITE controller chip and just took it off and wasted my time. I was shooting in the dark now. I didn't know what to do so I went invasive and got the PSU and thermal camera out. Starting with 1v/1a at the non-grounding pad of the diode...
