It's not easy being green - Image processing help request

Good Morning everyone,

Due to being away from home, family and telescope for a long period of time I have decided to really try and put some effort into understanding PixInsight image processing. Also, I want to further practice using RickS' script he showed me at Astrofest last year (thanks again).
I have some data with me of the Eagle Nebula and surrounds in Narrowband I am trying to process but I am running in to some problems.
The Image has been successfully stacked and then I did a ChannelCombination using the standard Hubble Palette
after that i did a DBE then BackgroundNeutralisation then a ColorCalibration.
The image I am left with was very green. So I thought, no problem, and applied SCNR to the image. This left me with an image that appeared to be almost monochrome again.

My question is should I be applying SCNR to the Linear image then taking it non-linear and trying to bring the colour back in to it using RickS script or curves? or should I be taking the image to non-linear then trying to get rid of the green using RickS' script and then maybe applying SCNR if needed after I am finished? Or maybe something else entirely?

Attached are two images, before and after SCNR.
Thanks for your help

Scott
