To create a full bridge rectifier configuration using the components in your project, you'll need four diodes. However, I see that you only have three Zener diodes (D1, D3, and D4). Zener diodes are not ideal for a rectifier circuit because they are designed for voltage regulation, not rectification. You should replace them with regular diodes, such as 1N4007 or similar.
Once you have four regular diodes, follow these steps to create the full bridge rectifier configuration:
  1. Connect the anode of Diode 1 (D1) to the positive terminal of AC input (AC1:P1).
  2. Connect the cathode of Diode 1 (D1) to the positive terminal of the output (Out +).
  3. Connect the anode of Diode 2 (D2) to the negative terminal of AC input (AC2:P1).
  4. Connect the cathode of Diode 2 (D2) to the positive terminal of the output (Out +).
  5. Connect the cathode of Diode 3 (D3) to the negative terminal of AC input (AC1:P1).
  6. Connect the anode of Diode 3 (D3) to the negative terminal of the output (Out -).
  7. Connect the cathode of Diode 4 (D4) to the positive terminal of AC input (AC2:P1).
  8. Connect the anode of Diode 4 (D4) to the negative terminal of the output (Out -).
Now you have a full bridge rectifier configuration. The AC input is connected to the primary side of the bridge, and the DC output is taken from the secondary side (Out + and Out -).

To create a full bridge configuration using the available components, you can follow these steps:
  1. Connect the drain (D) of Q1 to the drain (D) of Q4.
  2. Connect the drain (D) of Q2 to the drain (D) of Q3.
  3. Connect the source (S) of Q1 and Q2 to the positive supply voltage (AC1).
  4. Connect the source (S) of Q3 and Q4 to the negative supply voltage (AC2).
  5. Connect the gates (G) of Q1 and Q3 to a control signal (HIN).
  6. Connect the gates (G) of Q2 and Q4 to a control signal (LIN).
Here's the modified netlist for the full bridge configuration:
Net 0 connects Q3:S, D3:CATHODE, D2:CATHODE, Q2:S, Out -:P1, Out -:P1, Q4:D, D4:ANODE, Q1:S, D1:ANODE
Net 1 connects Q4:S, AC2:P1, R1:P2, R2:P1, Q3:D
Net 2 connects R3:P2, R4:P1, AC1:P1, Q1:D, Q2:D
Net 3 connects Q4:G, D4:CATHODE, R3:P1, LIN:P1
Net 4 connects D3:ANODE, Q3:G, R4:P2, HIN:P1
Net 5 connects D1:CATHODE, R1:P1, Q1:G
Net 6 connects Q2:G, D2:ANODE, R2:P2
Remember that you'll need to generate control signals HIN and LIN to drive the gates of the transistors. This can be done using a microcontroller or a dedicated gate driver IC.
