GameCube's Trigger Help

[Crazy Inventor]

So I followed Hailrazer's guide for relocating the triggers. It was all going well until i had to re-solder. I soldered the potentiometer and a tact switch to the motherboard and the (I guess) daughterboard, but the board won't pickup the potentiometer. Now the weird part is that I tested it with Super Mario Sunshine and it knew that the tact switch was pressed but it didn't squirt any water (yes it was filled). So I need to know what I did wrong with the potentiometer. I checked for bridges (didn't find any) and wired all 5 pins on the potentiometer. Thanks in advanced.

EDIT: I thought it would help with wiring the other two pins. I know they're unnecessary.

In my guide there are only three pins on the potentiometer. And you have to use the Gamestop controller board that use the 10k pots.

Why would a different potentiometer do anything different. Shouldn't not matter if I used the potentiometer from an official controller with the official controller's PCB. They do the same thing and the contacts are they same, three signals and two that hold it in place.

EDIT: No offense.

I thought you were using the pots in my guide. I didn't know the pots from the official controller would fit in the Dreamcast triggers.

No, the problem isn't getting them to fit it's that the controller isn't picking it up. BTW I I just glued the pointed part to the end of the trigger's internal part and it fit just fine.

I really need help with this. I think that the contacts on the board are broken. Is there anyway of testing it without wiring a potentiometer?
