I'm trying to do my first orbital reentry with a biological sample container, but for some reason, whatever part is connected to the heat shield will overheat during reentry from LEO. Since it always happens to the part attached to the heat shield, it seems like the heat shield is somehow transferring heat to that part. How can I fix this?

Does your heatshield have ablator on it? What is it attached to?

Heatshields do pass some of the heat on to whatever they’re attached to, so try putting the heatshield onto something that’s heat resistant. You could also try using the experiment return capsule that I think comes with one of the RO mods and which is more than able to take the heat of re-entry.
