▲ 2 r/Guitar

I am making a guitar for my A-level Product Design project, worth half my grade in the subject. I had to make something to solve a specific problem so I decided to make an ambidextrous guitar, that play as similarly as possible when strung for right or left-handed players. That is why I am using weird, sliding pots.

I have all the parts I need for 2 humbuckers, 2 volume and 1 tone, but I cannot figure out how to ground it. I cannot ground to the pots because, as shown in images 2 and 3, the pots will not fit into the pickguard if I do. It also mentions grounding some parts to the bridge? I don't know if I can do this as there is no space under the bridge to make any cavities. Any help is greatly appreciated. The current setup is 1 humbucker and 1 volume as I just needed to get it working first.

Is there a way to ground everything directly to the sleeve of the output jack? Or is there a simple solution? As long as it works and doesn't kill me I will consider it.

Thank you for any help :)
