Whether it's 50T or 53T wouldn't make a difference. Hhhmmmm. Might have to loo at other Power Meter options

It indeed the issue for ZED2 with Vector.

But actually the Vector almost the only one who can support 695 system.

The issue is, 695 ZED2 crank width is 15mm and small Vector pod support 12-15mm width crankset. Seem good? No. The ZED2 metal round-triangle things that connected with padel axiel will make the crank width became more than 15mm around 16mm. So the small pod soft connection band CANNOT touch the axiel well.

The solution is, sanding the metal round-triangle inner side (the side that indicate L and R) within 1-2mm out. After that, the indicator L and R will not visible and the width of crank arm will not changed, then the vector can works fine.

But that doesn't fix the clearance issue between the crank and the chain (which is below the recommended 5 mm).
Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live.

that clearance won't be the same for every bike... and if you have 2.5-3mm you are good.

Well said @spdntrxi

I've had my vector pedals on my LOOK 695 for well over 1000km and they haven't missed a beat. I torqued them up with the proper tool and my torque wrench and the work perfect. The Garmin found them straight away, calibrated and off I go...

I didn't do any grinding/sanding. I put the pods on without any issues and have worked perfect.
