Just checked here

and noticed the payload cansiter in the SSPF. What is going to be loaded into it?

I win.
I figured out the puzzle.
The Columbus module is going into the payload canister to go over to the O&C to be put in the vacuum chamber.
This answers the question on this thread.

Still need to confirm this.
Done. here is the O&C feed of the chamber

It's not bay so to speak, but a fixture that rotates the module to vertical and then mounts it in the vaccum chamber

Columbus is out of the vacuum chamber and is about to be placed in the payload canister.
