Hi, I am not sure if you have resolved this issue or not already but after reading the HSEsol paper published by Kresse. I think you can impliment HSEsol via the following parameters. Please someone tell me if I am off base though:

GGA = PS
PRECFOCK = N
LHFCALC = .TRUE.
HFSCREEN = 0.2

They way I understand it is you have vasp call up the PBEsol functional then you set HF in motion with a HFSCREEN of 0.2 since the paper says they used the same values as for HSE06. I do not think you need to set any values for these parameter but I may be wrong:
AEXX
AGGAX
AEXX
AGGAC
ALDAC
VOSKOWN
IDIPOL

I am also trying to use HSEsol so any feedback would be very welcome
