Victors behaving erratically when PWM is plugged in

We have a mecanum drive with a CIM and a mini-CIM on each wheel, with their relevent Victors connected together with a y-cable.
When only one PWM cables are plugged in to the Victors, the robot behaves as expected. However, when two or three wheels are connected to the sidecar, the wheels will start jerking back and forth, even if no inputs are going to the wheels. This remains true even if we replace the Victors and the y-cables. This phenomenon occurs regardless of what order we plug in the Victors.

Why would this phenomenon occur and what could be done to fix it?
