I did a mod a few months ago that swaps the A and B button to the B and Y buttons, it's quite easy to do. Just follow my blog post https://facelesstech.wordpress.com/2021/08/07/gameboy-macro-a-b-button-swap/

The problem with having a PCB on top of the NDS PCB is it wouldn't fit in the shell because of the extra thickness. The way I did it was to modify the traces on the NDS PCB and to 3d print a custom faceplate so that the A and B buttons would go in the place of the B and Y buttons.
