It could. Really the coil should be shorting out the resistors at HF frequencies so very little RF will pass through them. You don't have that Nichrome snake oil that was going around a few years ago, do you?
I would check your resistors with a NanoVNA to make sure they are non-inductive. Not all are really.

Quick and maybe easy question, Could a cold or poor solder joint on the Parasitic Resistors where they attach to the so called coil of the Plate connector cause my problems with the hot resistors?
