How does positional sensing work?

Does the PS algorithm use some kind of ratio between the rim sensor and the head sensor?
I have never been successful getting PS to work well and after much work tonight I think it comes down to the trigger design or mounting.
I have a Jobeky AI centered mounted trigger. This is essentially a single bar mounted to lugs with the head sensor mounted in the middle. There is a rim sensor as well. https://jobekydrums.co.uk/product/jobek ... er-system/
Now picture a clock (analog) with the trigger bar across the face going from the 9:00 to 3:00. If I hit anywhere above the bar along the line between 9:00 to 3:00 I can’t get the off center sound to trigger. If I hit really close to the rim I can get the edge to trigger but once I get about 30-40mm away for the edge it completely skips the off center range and goes straight to center.
Now if I hit above an imaginary line between 12:00 and 6:00 things work great from a positional sensing standpoint. Edge, off center and center rings are nice and wide.
I figure if I understand the PS algorithm and how it determines the signals I may be able to adjust my trigger to make it work.
