Typically, return to center is achieved with an (adjustable) spring if the motor is sent forward/backward by the controller from a single potmeter movement; or is your original pot not a standard 3-wire (top, bottom, wiper) version? Cor.

Unfortunately those are all "one sided" in the sense that they don't return to center or have a center bump to indicate zero throttle. If the F/R switch worked with a pot it would be a perfect fit.
