Your belly would be in the way, so that's a mute point. ;-)

Your report is only about the switch operation. We need to learn more.

Turn both pickups on with the switches.

With the tuning form over the bridge pickup, does the proper volume control and the frequency control affect the bridge pickup? This will tell

Here's a roadmap of what I think the controls should be doing:

Just reverse the pickup plugs and everything will be great and match my should be map. You can do this yourself in a few minutes like Bill said.
