also, make sure you dont have a line of code further down that sets the PWM9 port to 127. Teams often set the unused ports to 127, and then forget that line of code is in there!
I believe, if the servos are plugged into the main RC and not the camera, that they are run using the main battery. Whether or not an output is connected to a servo or motor is invisible to the controller, so it runs all outputs via the main. Servos are only powered by the backup battery if they are plugged into the camera.
