Hmmm, I'm not sure what that could be, but the most likely culprit is a file or two in KSP has gotten corupted. It happens from time to time. When that happens, you have to redownload KSP/verify all the files are good. 

Copy your save and gamedata folder to a backup location, then redownload KSP/verify the files through steam. 

Alright, I did everything. Fresh install, verified through Steam, re-downloaded BDB, I just don't know what's going on anymore, the lunar adapter fairing is just bugged on my end and I don't know what's causing it or how it even happened.

Would you know if there's any way to get in touch with anyone who might know what to do here, or someone who might've had a similar issue before? Sorry to keep pinging you but you have been a ton of help :))

As GoldForest stated, the fact that the SLA has two nodes one right on top of the other is a constant problem when building a Saturn V type rocket with Lunar module.

BUT there are also certain mods that can cause problems with BDB parts (TweakableEverything is a prime culprit and in my opinion should be considered in-compatible with BDB!)

Is this a rocket YOU made or is it an existing Craft File from Frizznit that is included in the BDB Zip download?

Follow the Troubleshooting steps as laid-out in my signature below.  

Spoiler

When I manually build my Saturn V, I start with the LM build it completely so that I have room to set up the rover etc (not that I have ever built the Rover correctly) then I add the SLA for the S-IV to the bottom.   I zoom in as close as I can, clipping through much of the SLA fairing base to see the attachment and make certain the Rocket motor is on the UPPER (top) of the two closely spaced nodes.  I build up to the tip of the LES and re-root to the Command Module.   I adjust all staging so that it goes in the correct order (stage LES, then Stage SLA Pannels and CM separation... Then stage the SLA release of the LM (so that you can dock with it first)

After that I build from the S-IVB GCU on down to the bottom of the rocket.
 

In the future, please do not share images from Discord.  Discord deletes them after only a couple hours so it is impossible for us to help you with your images.  Rather you can copy the image yourself and put it on a picture hosting website (I use Imgur.com because it has some native features in the KSP forums)

If that doesn't help you you will have to provide KSP logs via a file sharing site because you have a mod interaction that is blocking the proper deployment.

The heat shield has to be kept pointed almost perfectly, otherwise the CM will overheat. 

If you disable reaction control wheels, be sure to enable RCS. It's disabled by default on the CM. 

I'm also still having issues with the COM offset, still getting the capsule overheated, of course I'm not using reaction wheels and as the capsule tilts ever so slightly witht he offset COM I start having overheat problems as the capsule reaches around 60k meters (Planned perigee of 45k for reentry from the Mun @JNSQ).

I think I'll just add some ablator in the configs like the RO-Capsules config has.

The heat shield varied in thickness from 2 inches (5.1 cm) in the aft portion (the base of the capsule, which faced forward during reentry) to 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) in the crew compartment and forward portions. The Total weight of the shield was about 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg). (wikipedia)

Does the Soyuz in Soviet mod work with the apollo-soyuz part in bdb @TheSpaceToffee

(I don't know how to reply)

Yes, Tantares and BDB are fully compatible.

At the bottom-left of a post there should be the word "Quote", click that to reply.

IDK how to solve your problem, sorry. I never use the offset. Ask @CobaltWolf

Don't worry, I know why it happens, as the COM is slightly offset part of the capsule faces the windstream so it overheats. Jus replying so others can see that I have the same issue and will try to test the ablative material on the capsule.
