    What if I switched the VRef+ and Vref- to

    Vref+ = 0v
    Vref- = 5v

    Would that work?

    Not sure.
    From what I found out about that sensor it has a variable resistance output. So to use it with an ADC I think you are going to need to change it to a variable voltage with a voltage divider.
