The main function of the board is to hold the PAS sensor.
If that's the case, then those two parts have to be the PAS sensor, because there are no other parts ont he board, other than the capacitor, to be "held" by the board.
I know the hall wires went to the controller but the board is not allowing current to flow trough for some reason.
Because there are no parts to do it, and no board traces making the continuity.
To reiterate:
As I said, there's essentially no components on the board, so there is no path for the signal.
So the halls, despite being present, are not being used, if the components necessary to pass that signal are not present.
If you want to know what's going on, you have to get a piece of paper and a pencil, set your multimeter on continuity or ohms, and start tracing out everything from each wire to each pad and draw it out.
Then you'll know where the parts were designed to go to make the halls work. (assuming that was the purpose of the stuff that isn't on that board--we have no way to know).
Unfortunately you can't know what the parts were supposed to be, so you can't implement it.
My guess is that board is designed to hold an MCU or other active electronics that do some signal processing between whatever is in the motor that sends a signal, and whatever is in the controller that reads it. What that processing would have been, we can't know, because the parts aren't there to guess from, and there's no design schematic or manufacturer info to know for certain.
If you just wire up stuff that you don't know what it was supposed to hook to, you risk damage to both ends of what you're hooking up, and/or improper operation that can damage components.
Why are you so insistent that the halls must be connected?
If they were not connected before, and the system worked, then there is no reason to connect them now, other than to experiment, with the potential to make the system not work (at all).
But it's your system, and I'll leave you be to do whatever you're going to do.
It's not uncommon for manufacturers to use stuff with parts installed that aren't used, becuase with some things (like halls in a motor) it's cheaper to keep just one module around for all versions, than it is to just install the parts on some units and not others. Then its' also easier to just have the assemblers wire everything on every unit, even if it's not needed for some, rather than trying to train them to do one thing on one version, and a different thing on another, and then have a QC checker down the line that makes sure they did it rigth on each one. If they only have to do one way, they are much less likely to make mistakes.
