Double-check all of your ground connections. "Won't shut off completely" and "wired it standard style ... grounding sound is back" both suggest to me a grounding issue.

Do you have a multimeter? If you do, check the resistance from the bridge to the ground side of the output jack - it should be zero. An ungrounded bridge (or bridge ground connected to the wrong place) will cause hum issues.

Well I’m no Tec but you seemed to miss the fact I followed the wiring diagram from fender with all fender parts and when I did that the sound wasn’t coming through properly as far as tone and volume for the control for both pick ups that’s the major issue

Aside from the schematic, it's always better to do the job with the right tools. A multimeter is essential in tracing out the circuit and finding miswiring or faulty components. You need to eliminate both.
Maybe post a photo of the wiring for us to review?
