You can take a look at the schematics for the OSSC 1.5 to see where the pins of every IC are supposed to be connected to:

It should be pretty helpful, since it’s almost identical to the OSSC 1.6. According to the schematics pin 1 of the IT6613 should be connected to pin 104 of the FPGA. But neither of those pins is nearby a grounding pin – so I don’t know, how there could be a short to ground…

EDIT:
If you meant the pin from the HDMI connector -> the top first pin of the HDMI connector (in the picture of the pcb above) is not supposed to be grounded. But the second pin from the top is a grounding pin. So if there isn’t a short between those top two pins on the HDMI connector itself, there (maybe) is one on the IT6613 (since it’s the only possible explanation left)…
