I can't see the markings very clearly on those two ICs. If those two ICs are the flash memory XM25QH64A (first line marking unser 'XMC' looks like QH64AHIG), you may check the datasheet to see the functions of the pins.
Looks like the lower left component is connected to pin 3 (WP#, write protect) and pin 4 (vss). Probably it is a pull-down resistor. The other component next to it could also be a pull-down resistor for the other IC. This resistor could have a value of a few tens to hundreds of k-ohm. Try measure with a multimeter to find its resistance and confirm it is really connected to pin 3 and pin 4 too..
The top component, can't see where it is connected to. No idea. Can you find out where it is connected to and provide a clearer picture as well?
I think 15ohm seems very low to me. If it is connected to one single driving circuit, it may be possible. However, if it is connected as a pull-down resistor and also connected to a driving circuit, it should be in the order of k-ohm; otherwise, the driving circuit could be overloaded.
If broadview/schemetic unavailable, it's better to double-check again and again. Do not rush to put in a low-value resistor. BTW, these resistors seldom damaged.
