tintmasks substance painter question

[supremeloser123]

So I've recently started messing with substance painter on my tennogen model, but I am having trouble with the tint masks. I pretty much get a good part of materials, as I have been messing with it alot, and I get that when I can turn off the color and use everything else. Here is a screenshot of what the tintmasks are doing currently, what I dont get is where do i see where color is getting picked up when i mess with it in the shader, how the albedo comes from this, and why when I switch to user 1 it just shows alpha.
