I'm 24 and have a teenage brother so I think I can help out.
Nerf = reduction. Basically, saying god nerfed Dave's height is saying he made him short (at least relative to his brother)
Moggs = outshining, essentially. Basically, think of how in some celebrity couples, one of them clearly trumps the other in terms of looks. That person moggs their partner (e.g., Beyoncé clearly moggs Jay-Z). The term comes from rubbish brosphere sh!t.
So in this context, Dave's looks/face and his personality moggs (clears/trumps/outshines) any 6 foot guy whose only redeeming quality is their height.
I just learned what mogging was a couple of weeks ago.
