Cables are being folded flat between back cover and PCB #79

The last fold before the flat flex connects to the board is being squashed flat between the back cover and the motors.

The situation has been improved but there is still a 'fold' in the flatflex. The cables haven't failed and there should be no cyclical failure to worry about. However, it would be preferable to remove it completely.

Changed the cable tidy slot to concertina the cable. It turns out only the proximal two slots were needed.

[ ] Remove distal slot
[x] Test with back cover

Tested with the back cover. The cables are no longer folded flat; they even have about 6 mm clearance.
