Describe the bug

When I secured a capacitor into a under construction phazon. I noticed it ate my capacitor ie when i secured it it didn't register the capacitor being added

What did you expect?

I expected the capacitor to be secured and to be able to proceed wirh construction

Reproducible steps

1.get a quad capacitor 2. insert it into a phazon 3. secure it

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the construction code for the phazon mech, specifically the step where a capacitor is secured. Look for the proc that handles securing the capacitor and trace why the capacitor is not being registered.
