    Mate, are you sure it's got 2xVol and 2xTone pots? The PRS-1H kits only have 1 X Volume and 1 X Tone unless you really they have recently changed.
    BD, my PSR-1TS kit from 2018 was 2 x 2 and the current PRS-1Q is 2 x 2 also.

    Anyway, I'm having trouble seeing exactly what's what in the photos, but the white lead from the pickup(s) goes to the outer lug(s) of the volume pot(s). The braided wire(s) soldered to the back of the volume pot(s).

    The 3 wires pre-soldered together are indeed your switch connections. The outer switch lugs are connected to your respective neck volume/bridge volume pots (red & yellow wires - your choice, just be sure you follow the correct signal path for each).
    The centre lug on the switch gets connected the tip (+) lug of the output jack via the white conductor of the "black" wire. (follow me?)
    The braided wires soldered together goes to the ground lug on the opposite side of the toggle switch.

    Yes, you will also need to ground the bridge via a connection to one bridge post and the back of a pot that is already grounded via the interconnected wires on the back of the four pots as per diagram (unless you have shielding that provides continuity to all the pots). However, I always ground them collectively regardless of shielding, but that's just my preference.

    Hope this helps.
