The center rail on the dead spot gets power from both ends of the switch, unless it's jumpered. You have it insulated on two ends - the turnout and one thru end.
Also, the outside rail should be the common. The insulated or unconnected innermost outside rails (the v near the turn-out) are not connected to provide installation of automatic non-derail. (Blue and Yellow in the Atlas diagram above)
B7A & B7B are providing hot and the B5 are insulated from the end where the dead spot is. B7A & B7B should also be proving common on the outside rail.
Does the first switch from B7A have hot on both ends on the center rail? It has to pass it to the dead spot switch, which is insulated from B5B.
