Ok,

So I managed to fix this issue but I'm not entirely sure if I found a Bug  
or if the functionality is intended to work like so.

Basically if I remove the sort functionality the query works as intended,  
If I use any kind of Sort, the rescore query is totally ignored and sorting  
is done on the original query score.
