Does the damage mod affect both (because they are both sidearms) or only the Flaylock (because it is in the sidearm slot)?

It impacts based on Module type and not the slot the module resides in. |

-Lee It impacts based on Module type and not the slot the module resides in. Good news...great news....fantastic news....how do you know? When looking at the specs of my suits and modules in fittings, I see the sidearm dmg at 103%, the weapons themselves still show the base dmg.
It's an educated guess based on how damage modules in Eve work. As an example, Gyrostabilizers give bonuses to projectile weapons, but not hybrid weapons. As both projectile and hybrid weapon are high slots, the modules clearly can differentiate based on gun type. As Dust is based on Eve in fitting terms, it is logical to conclude Dust modules work in the same way. |

So you are saying if I fit two sidearms and a light weapon dmg mod, it will give you an error? interesting. This isn't that case though. I am fitting two sidearms with a sidearm mod, and I want to know if both sidearms get the bonus...the specs on either sidearm show nothing...just the base specs. The suit itself shows 103% for sidearms, but doesn't actually say where it applies.
I've not seen this fitting "error" either, so I have no way to confirm/refute what Iron says. |

Since you have heavy, light, and sidearm slots, but can fit lights and sidearms in heavy slots and sidearms in light slots, it becomes more like fitting EvE low power mods in low, medium OR high slots since they take less power. The question would still stand in that environment as well.
We should know with certainty once CCP updates the modules to reflect skill and other modifiers to stats of fitted modules. |

It's soul crushing to not be able to see what the mods are actually doing, but being a longtime EvE player, I'm not holding my breath. I think the Ballistic Control System RoF bonus STILL doesn't show in the launcher specs. 
If your soul crushed due to an inconvenience in a video game, I question your priorities in life :P |
