Solution for problems with section slots and weapon modules
As stated in the comments, there is, as it looks like, a problem with the bases having not enough module slots avaiable.

There is a simple fix for it:
Just go to the location of the mods zip file, open it, locate the 00_starbases.txt in [zip flile]/ship_size and adjust the sectionslots the following way:

locate the starbase level - given as starbase_[level]; eg starbase_outpost for the regular outpost

and then look out for the section_slots part and paste the following lines of code:

for _starport

section_slots = {
"core" = { locator = "part1" }
"1" = { locator = "part2" }
"2" = { locator = "part3" }
"3" = { locator = "part4" }
}

for _starhold

section_slots = {
"core" = { locator = "part1" }
"1" = { locator = "part2" }
"2" = { locator = "part3" }
"3" = { locator = "part4" }
"4" = { locator = "part5" }
"5" = { locator = "part6" }
}

for _starfortress

section_slots = {
"core" = { locator = "part1" }
"1" = { locator = "part2" }
"2" = { locator = "part3" }
"3" = { locator = "part4" }
"4" = { locator = "part5" }
"5" = { locator = "part6" }
"6" = { locator = "part7" }
"7" = { locator = "part5" }
"8" = { locator = "part5" }
"9" = { locator = "part6" }
"10" = { locator = "part6" }
"11" = { locator = "part7" }
}

for _citadel

section_slots = {
"core" = { locator = "part1" }
"1" = { locator = "part2" }
"2" = { locator = "part2" }
"3" = { locator = "part3" }
"4" = { locator = "part3" }
"5" = { locator = "part4" }
"6" = { locator = "part4" }
"7" = { locator = "part5" }
"8" = { locator = "part5" }
"9" = { locator = "part6" }
"10" = { locator = "part6" }
"11" = { locator = "part7" }
"12" = { locator = "part7" }
"13" = { locator = "part5" }
"14" = { locator = "part5" }
"15" = { locator = "part6" }
"16" = { locator = "part6" }
"17" = { locator = "part7" }
}

for _stronghold

section_slots = {
"core" = { locator = "part1" }
"1" = { locator = "part2" }
"2" = { locator = "part2" }
"3" = { locator = "part3" }
"4" = { locator = "part3" }
"5" = { locator = "part4" }
"6" = { locator = "part4" }
"7" = { locator = "part5" }
"8" = { locator = "part5" }
"9" = { locator = "part6" }
"10" = { locator = "part6" }
"11" = { locator = "part7" }
"12" = { locator = "part7" }
"13" = { locator = "part5" }
"14" = { locator = "part5" }
"15" = { locator = "part6" }
"16" = { locator = "part6" }
"17" = { locator = "part7" }
"18" = { locator = "part7" }
"19" = { locator = "part5" }
"20" = { locator = "part5" }
"21" = { locator = "part6" }
"22" = { locator = "part6" }
"23" = { locator = "part7" }
}

If it isnt enough, then add another slot for each level with the locator being the same as the previous one.
Eg for _stronghold

instead of only
"23" = { locator = "part7" }

just continue but use the same locator.

"23" = { locator = "part7" }
"24" = { locator = "part7" }

It should be enough by then.

It works fine for me now.
Hope this is helping others.

First thing: the file location for the mod might be different for each person's steam installation. I found the modded text file in this folder:

...\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\1440941890\common\ship_sizes\00_starbases.txt

I would recommend using windows explorer to search the 'workshop' folder for the 00_starbases.txt file and let it do the heavy lifting.

Secondly, this string seems to be what directly impacts the number of platform slots:

"starbase_defense_platform_capacity_add = [x]"

The default value for this string can be found in the Stellaris vanilla files at:
...\steamapps\common\Stellaris\common\ship_sizes\00_starbases.txt

Here are the default values I have:
starbase_outpost: 3
starbase_starport: 6
starbase_starhold: 9
starbase_starfortress: 12
starbase_citadel: 15

Still the problem that I have when I build a new defense platform is that consumes 5 platform slots instead of 1

Add each level together. That is how many slots you need in total. 45 is how many, not 24
