My insert triparts brush mid section isn't working right (pics included)

I am trying to edit a triparts brush I have. It is the insert bandolier brush by Nick Miller. All I want to do is shorten his end peices.
That is his brush, it is three poly groups but it is hard to discern.

That is how it is supposed to work, When I use his brush with curve mode, bend, and snap on it does that.

This is the edit I made, just cut the ends off.

This is my issue, my middle section doesn’t deform and bend like the original, it is all split, can anyone explain why this is happening?

Hope this helps
