To summarize my present understanding: - NASA's Chandra x-ray observatory picked a signal at 3.55 keV, which does not correspond to a known atomic transition [1]. - Mills's theory predicts a *cutoff* right before an inverse Rydberg value of 3.48 keV. - NASA's signal is a "bump" centered on the 3.55 keV. - Mills's theory predicts a broadband signal and *no* bump or sharp peak. - As you noted, the NASA signal will have undergone a significant redshift by the time it reaches Earth. So Mills's value of 3.48 keV is not only lower than 3.55 keV, it's a lot lower than the energy corresponding to whatever wavelength the light had at the source. This looks like it is exactly a non-prediction related to hydrinos. Perhaps I've missed something important. I'm reminded of how 1/137 somehow becomes the fine structure constant (=137.035,999,173(35)) in some people's minds. I guess for BLP's purposes, it does not matter.
