How to make an MTF version of a custom script?

I've been looking this up, and from what I understand you have to add the aggregation values to all references to candles. This is the script I'm referring to: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/qqe-quantitative-qualitative-estimation-for-thinkorswim.938/

Here's the actual code:

Code:
# QQE Indicator
# Converted by Kory Gill for BenTen at useThinkScript.com
# Original https://www.tradingview.com/script/zwbe2plA-Ghosty-s-Zero-Line-QQE/

declare lower;

input RSI_Period = 20;
input Slow_Factor = 5;
input QQE = 4.236;
input levelLine  = 35;
plot Level = levelLine;



def Wilder_Period = RSI_Period * 2 - 1;
def vClose = close;

def rsi = RSI(price = vClose, length = RSI_Period).RSI;
def rsi_ma = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, rsi, Slow_Factor);
def atr_rsi = AbsValue(rsi_ma[1] - rsi_ma);
def atr_rsi_ma = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, atr_rsi, Wilder_Period);
def dar = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, atr_rsi_ma, Wilder_Period) * QQE;

def DeltaFastAtrRsi = dar;
def RSIndex = rsi_ma;
def newshortband =  RSIndex + DeltaFastAtrRsi;
def newlongband = RSIndex - DeltaFastAtrRsi;

def longband = if RSIndex[1] > longband[1] and RSIndex > longband[1]
               then max(longband[1],newlongband)
               else newlongband;

def shortband = if RSIndex[1] < shortband[1] and  RSIndex < shortband[1]
                then min(shortband[1], newshortband)
                else newshortband;

def trend = if Crosses(RSIndex, shortband[1])
            then 1
            else if Crosses(longband[1], RSIndex)
            then -1
            else if !IsNAN(trend[1])
            then trend[1]
            else 1;

def FastAtrRsiTL = if trend == 1

Essentially what I want is to be able to change the aggregations, I don't need like 3 different aggregations. Just 1 for the base code itself. I tried looking through other MTF codes and added these:

Code:
input agg = AggregationPeriod.fifteen_min;
plot c = close(period = agg);

That didn't work though. I don't really see references to candles really in this script so I'm not sure where to add this. I'd appreciate if someone could help me figure this out.
 
@fungus12 Change vClose to higher agg.
Hm that works but now there's another issue. Here's what the QQE looks like at a 15m aggregation on a 3m chart:

But here's how the regular QQE looks on a 15m chart:

Is there any way to remedy that so they align more closely or is this just an inevitable byproduct of having a longer aggregation on a small timeframe?
