Help wiring a Ric

So I'm wiring up the fakenbacker with the Ric pups that I got from Willsellout. Now everything is all wired up but I haven't put the pickguard back on yet because I wanted to make sure that it was all hooked up the correct way.

Anyway I just plugged everything in and while I do get a little sound out of the pups through the amp whenever I tap them, the amp really buzzes whenever I touch the metal surrounding the pups as well as the bridge . I'm assuming it's a grounding issue but I really don't know where to begin. Suggestions?


Oh and here are some pics
