issues copying pose for Pitchipoy Rig

i am using the pitchipoy rig, well, for two different models. they were made slightly differently:

the first was scaled up and tweaked to fit the frame of the character, i generated the advanced rig and it was smaller because i did not apply scale to the metarig. i scaled it up the advanced rig up to the size of the mesh. and then i made a given pose.


now, for the second one, i instead applied scale to the metarig before generating buttons. the advanced rig for the second character was able to copy the pose but with complications with the IK bones. it was able to copy every transform EXCEPT for location. and this only seems to happen for rigs based on a metarig with the new scale applied.


is there any way to solve this without having to create another rig that matches the standards of the original one?
