So the bdog sidewall (at least for the 2017 model) has 3 visible layers and they have started to split after only 15 or so days of riding. Do yall think i could i just use epoxy and clamps like a normal de-lam. pics below

I don't tend to use clamps when dealing with sidewall delams for the most part, if you do it too tight it actually squeezes most of the epoxy out of the split and will just split open again after a few uses. First I'd see if it's still within warranty if you bought it within the last two years (now that Armada is owned by Amer, their warranty has increased from one year to two). If not, just throw epoxy in there and maybe clamp slightly (since your split is rather large).

epoxy and clamp will get you by for a while, but at the end of the day that ski is shot.

I'm gonna guess any modification other than binding mount will void a warranty

Take 'em to a shop! They'll get in touch with Armada about warranty. In my experience, de-lams are almost always covered under warranty as long as the ski was purchased somewhat recently. If Armada does turn down the warranty claim, then start looking into repairs.

shops will only help with warranty if you bought it from them. E-mail is the way to go otherwise.
