Hi, this my first thread but not my first post anyway. And I hope my English is enough to be understandable 
I have a Yamaha Pacifica 112V with it's standard PU installed, then recently bought a Pearly Gate Plus (PGP) for the bridge PU replacement, and I want to have it covered with a nickel cover. From the suggestion I read and also from the answers I gathered from this forum, it said that the standard size (SH) PG+ will fit on and works fine on those strat HSS guitar because it was originally build for a strat (CMIIW), so then I bought the humbucker sized PG+ rather then the fact that my guitar needs a trembucker F-spaced bridge pickup.
Then I bought the cover separately because the PG+ that I had is the not-covered one (standard one). The difficulties to find a nickel chrome cover and the seymour duncan cover parts around my place has made to decice to import it from an online seller, and went for the Gibson one. But then when I got the cover, try to put it on the PG+, the poles doesn't fit properly with the cover holes. The first thing I tought is "Am I get the wrong size for the cover?" Too bad there are no explanations from the cover whether it is a trembucker or humbucker cover, but I'm pretty sure that I ordered the humbucker one.
I tried to measure the length to make sure what sized is the cover, and from my approximation tells that it's a trembucker one. The problem goes on when I tried to measure the PG+, stock bridge PU, and string spacing. I just know that the stock PU's poles aren't in exact position below the high E-string.
The problem here is not about whether the seller sent me the wrong item, or am I being cheated or such, but it's what I want to ask.
1. Should I go for a trembucker PG+ or just standard humbucker one since I know that the stock PU is a standard humbucker but with this "not precised poles" problem on it?
2. Why some said that standard sized PG+ will works fine with a strat? What makes it different with any other standard sized humbucker?
3. Does gibson standard sized humbucker is a trembucker????
4. What PU cover will fit on my PG+ ?? What sized or anything else ??
Sorry for a really long story, well I just try to get it as clearly as I can with my limited language skill. Because I want to know from where to start over with those, is it to get a new pickup or just a new cover, or am I gonna stay with my PG+ or change it with other sized PU.
Thank you, I appreciate for your answers.
