i think theres 2 volume and one tone becuase 2 have the same ingravings on the back and one is different

Any chance we can get some pictures that weren't taken with a camera phone? Also, have you tried raising the height of the pickup itself? If it's substantially lower than the other pickup, that could be your issue.

Did you buy it from a store? If ya just got it and you bought it from a store, just go back to the store and ask them if they will fix it. If not, do you know how to solder? Do you know how to check the pickups to see if they are shorted or open? If not, you should probably see a pro. Not trying to discourage you from fixing your own guitar, but based on how you asked your question, and your post number, it seems your a bit inexperienced. I would hate to see you damage your electronics or your finish to save 20 bucks.

sounds like one of the possibilities is that it's wired out of phase. if you're good at soldering trace the two wires comimg from the problem pickup to where they're soldered..reverse their positions and see if that fixes it.
