Motion 3 - Controllers not rendering

What did you do? Please explain the steps you took before you encountered the problem.
basically I have a dot array on a shape layer, and each dot has a wiggle expression for scale

What did you expect to happen?
Controllers should limit the response of the wiggle expression over time however the dots get too large and overlap.

Example here:

What actually happened? Please include as much relevant detail as possible.
Variables scale is not limited to the controller, here is a sample causing the issues:

// Mt. Mograph - Motion3 (2D Dynamics Expression)
var a = thisLayer("ADBE Effect Parade");
var b = a("[d] Scale");
var c = b("Pseudo/EPO5750a279cg-0001");
var d = b("Pseudo/EPO5750a279cg-0002");
var e = b("Pseudo/EPO5750a279cg-0003");
var f = b("Pseudo/EPO5750a279cg-0004");
var h = b("Pseudo/EPO5750a279cg-0007");
var i = b("Pseudo/EPO5750a279cg-0008");
var j = b("Pseudo/EPO5750a279cg-0009");
var seedValue = b("Pseudo/EPO5750a279cg-0005");
var g;
if (c > 0) {
if (d == 1) {
seedRandom(seedValue * 1000);
if (h > 0) {
if (i.value === j.value) {
wiggleVal = wiggle(e, i, 1, 1, time)[0];
g = [wiggleVal, wiggleVal];
} else {
g = [wiggle(e, i, 1, 1, time)[0], wiggle(e, j, 1, 1, time)[1]];
}
} else {
g = wiggle(e, f, 1, 1, time);
}
} else if (d == 2) {
seedRandom(seedValue);
var freq = 1 / e;
var times = thisComp.duration / freq;
var progress = (time / (thisComp.duration + thisComp.frameDuration));
var timeVal = Math.floor(times * progress);
if (h) {
if (i.value === j.value) {
wiggleVal = wiggle(e, i, 1, 1, timeVal)[0];
g = [wiggleVal, wiggleVal];
} else {
g = [wiggle(e, i, 1, 1, timeVal)[0], wiggle(e, j, 1, 1, timeVal)[1]];
}
} else {
g = wiggle(e, f, 1, 1, timeVal);
}
}
}
g || value;

Hi, unfortunately the wiggle function is not easy to replicate and it doesn't work at all like the AE one works

[rdcarney]

Ok so I removed the script altogether. I am using the Adobe shape layer and I added a wiggle transform to it which takes the dots and wiggles the scale. There is no custom script and am using part of stock cc. Its creating the same effect however where it works before export and am having the exact same issue.

Format below:
Shape Layer > Contents > add > wiggle transform

The wiggle behavior is not supported in any of its formats. Not sure if there is an alternate solution for what you are looking for.
