Help with a set of HS210's and HS200's

So I think I may have screwed myself. I just ran wiring in a new building (detached garage). I purchased (3) HS200's and (1) HS210 Kit. When I ran the wiring I did not have the kits in hand nor did I research them. I just assumed they would work.
I have a 4 gang switch box which controls different lights. 3 switches are regular while a 4th switch is a 3-way to a switch on other end of building.
I ran a dedicated 12-2 (Green/Ground, White/Neutral, Black/Hot) into the 4-gang box. This dedicated run was used for powering 6 outdoor led lights (one regular switch) as well as overhead lights inside garage (second switch). These are straightforward as they have the 4 wires required (two blacks - line/load, white neutral and a ground).
The problem I have is the last regular switch is wired power from fixture (power to lights then switch). So I only have my (ground, white, black) with white and black tied down to the switch.
Am I able to throw the neutral wire from the HS200 into the bundle of neutrals off the 'dedicated' 12-2 from a different breaker? I hope that makes sense. What issues would I have in doing this. As long as I know which is my true 'hot/line' and which wire is shooting voltage back up to the light (load) am I ok to do so>
Then for my 3-way switch it is fed in a similar way. I ran 12-2 up to my lights then 12-2 down to the switch and then ran a 12-3 (ground, neutral, hot, traveler) from switch to switch. Is there a way to make this setup work with the HS210 kit?
Did I screw myself by not running power to the switch for these other runs? If so who wants to buy some HS200's and HS210 kit......
Thanks for any help
