I had a 2017 MacBook Pro 15" with the left fan running at full speed immediately on power-on after a repair shop bungled a battery replacement.

I checked for the broken FET and sure enough:

Using the schematic and data sheet for the DMN32D2LFB4:

I found the two drain pads:

Then using enamel wire I joined them:

Which resolved the issue by tying the speed of both fans to the speed of the right fan. I'm unsure what consequences this will have on thermal/compute performance, but my assumption is that the heat pipe can transfer a lot and the left/right fans are not tied solely to the CPU/GPU temp, but some combination.
