ST67W611M and STM32H7A3ZIT6 schematic + PCB review

We are designing a benchtop device with an LCD, battery, and wireless capabilities and have chosen the STM32H7A3ZIT6 MCU and ST67W611M WiFi/BT SoC. It's intended to use TouchGFX for the graphics. The board is complete and ready to order but I'd like a review of the hardware and schematic beforehand if possible as re-ordering and re-assembly with a mistake would take a while.

The schematic symbol was manually created with the nucleo hardware files as reference.

 

MCU PCB:

PCB routing for MCUPCB routing for MCUThe yellow plane is a 3v3 digital power pour. USB is the differential signal coming from the top left of the MCU. Most of the signals are going to the LCD connector to the right. I have placed capacitors on pins as follows:

PinLabelCapacitor
6VBATNone, connected to 3v3d
30VDD_54.7uF
32 & 33VDDA & VREFPTied together. 100nF and 1uF
39, 52, 62, 72, 84, 108, 144VDD_7, VDD_9, VDD_11, VDD_16, VDD_2, VDD_13Separate. 100nF
71, 106VCAP1 & VCAP2Tied together. 2.2uF near each pin.
95VDD33_USB_1100nF and 1uF
131VDD_26100nF in parallel with 100nF

It is unclear to me exactly which of these are necessary. For example why pin 131 needs parallel 100nF capacitors as in the nucleo hardware.

Thanks for any help
