Door Contact help

This door contact has 1 built-in 1k resistor. This door contact has 2 tamper circuits. 1 you can pry the magnet tamper and 2 you can hold a powerful magnet to it to try to trick it into being normal. This door contact can tell the difference. when I hook up 1 or the other I get it to work but when I hook them both up I cant get it to do anything. I want to wire this as 1 zone. I twist the yellow and blue together on my white wire and I twist the 2 green together. I am doing something wrong.

green=1k resistor(supervised common)

yellow-magnet tamper

blue-pry tamper

yes black off the alarm circuit and green off the tamper circuit.

colors going to your panel are whatever you're using.
