Question about HyperSwitch with HSH (pots 500K)

Hi, I've been having an issue with an Ibanez Grga120 with potentiometers:
Volume Pot: 500K Linear ("B style")
Tone Pot: 500K Audio/Log ("A style")

I carved a space for a middle pickup and I already installed the Hyperswitch and everything works but, the middle pickup is too quiet.
If i configure the HyperS just to use the middle pickup and crank the volume then I can hear it, but when mixed with the Humbuckers, it doesn't work (almost can't hear it)
Apparently the solution in a regular wiring (no Hyperswitch) is a 470 resistor for that middle pickup.
But how can i correct this, having the Hyperswitch?
can i still connect a 470 resistor where the hot for the single coil connects to the HyperSwitch?
thanks for the help
 
the 470k resistor is to simulate a 250k pot for the single coil, that isnt your issue. if you check the dc resistance at the jack, do you get normal readings for each position?
 
thanks for your reply Jeremy, honestly I don't have a multimeter to check the resistance. I just noticed that you cna barely hear teh middle pickup. The only way to hear it is by selecting it by itself with the app of the HyperSwitch and then crank the volume to the max. Even then the difference in volume with the other pickups is huge.
