yuva put this great little guide together for making version 2.0 work with Customizable Targeting HUD. Thanks, yuva!
"Great mod! I've been using it for a while now, with Ruddy88's patch and Customizable Trageting HUD. Since v2 comes with it's own toggle functionality, the patch is no longer necessary. Unfortunately, it did not work with CTH. But the fix is quite easy, so I thought I'd share it here:
1. Make sure CTH comes after WTTO in your load order
2. Open both .esps in FO4Edit
3. In WTTO under "Spell" right click on "WestTek_abTargetingHud"
4. Select "Copy as override into" and copy into CTH (or copy into new esp and set both WTTO and CTH as masters)
5. Find the new entry in CTH
6. Right click in the "Effects" row (3rd column) and choose "add"
7. Scroll down to the new entry, in "EFID - Base Effect" type XX000803 (XX depends on load order, it's what's written in square brackets before the CTH.esp), the new entry should say "CTH_PA_TargetingHUD_Cloak "Targeting HUD Cloak (Friendlies)" [MGEF:XX000803]"
8. Set "Magnitude" to 1000, "Area" to 0, "Duration" to 1
9. Right click in "Conditions" row and choose "add" 2 times
10. Copy the 2nd and 3rd conditions of the first effect exactly (that's the "WornHasKeyword" conditions), don't forget the OR in Equal to / Or (to my knowledge, you cannot copy/paste the whole thing, but will have to copy manually)
This works for me. The settlers in Sanctuary glow green and the bloat flies on the way to Abernathy farm glow red until dead (and then blue because I'm also using Loot Detector - Scrapper Corpse Highlighting)."

1) Install both West Tek Tactical Optics (WTTO) and Customizable Targeting HUD (CTH)
2) Make sure that CTH is loaded AFTER (BELOW) WTTO
3) Open FO4Edit and make sure both mods are loaded (checked). By default, FO4Edit will have ALL plugins checked. You can either
load ALL plugins (default) or right click the list and Select None and filter for the plugins to select those two specifically. Filter for West and CTH should show you the plugins; check their boxes.
4) Expand “WestTekTacticalOptics.esp” and go down to the “Spell” group (expand again). Right click on "WestTek_abTargetingHud" and choose the "Copy as override into..." option and either add to the existing CTH ESP or into a new ESP of your choosing.
4a) NOTE: You’ll get prompted to Add Masters, choose YES option.
4b) NOTE: If you added this into a new ESP, you will need to add the CTH ESP as a master manually. Right click the new ESP name and choose
the Add Masters… option, then select the new ESP (checkbox then hit OK).
5) Now go to the plugin you added this override into and expand it. The new entry should be in bold indicating a change before save.
6) Select the new bolded entry “WestTek_abTargetingHud” and on the RIGHT side, scroll down till you see Effects (should be at the bottom).
7) Right click 1st line of Effects on the FAR RIGHT column (mod you overrode into). and choose Add. Result should be below:
8) We now need to copy entries. “EFID – Base Effect” will be XX000803 (XX depends on load order). You will need to look up this
entry within the CTH ESP file. This is located within the “Magic Effect” category. Click on the XX000803 entry and on the right, look for “FormID” under Record Header (very top). Double click this and copy the entire entry.
9) Copy this entry into the “EFID – Base Effect” field that currently shows as “NULL”.
9a) Change entries Magnitude: 1000, Area: 0, Duration:1 in both.
9b) End Result:
10) Adding Conditions. Right click the empty Conditions box and click on Add TWICE (making two entries).
11) Copy entries from Condition #1 and Condition#2 just above in GREEN. Ignore Condition #0 in green. End result:
12) SAVE (CTRL-S), you are DONE. If you added this to CTH ESP file, you’re completely done. If you added to your own file, make sure your file is loaded AFTER (BELOW) both these mods.
EDIT: I figured it out and got it to work. Now WTTO works with Enemies and Friendlies in different colors, Weapons drawn and the WTTO Switch.
I'll add this screenshot so hopefully knuckleheads like me find it helpful while doing all this FO4Edit Witchcraft...
EDIT2: am not allowed to add pics... well then you'll have to trust this shady link that doesn't lead to a russian ransomware-site for sure (just kidding, it's the google photos dingy I found. Hopefully it works)...

I'm going to try to post a picture of how my patch looks.

EDIT: found the elusive OK button at the bottom of the window.
Not sure how to follow the steps.. This guide is outdated af to anyone who doesn't know how to use XEdit like myself. Someone should just make a patch or make a video please. Wasted almost an hour of my day off doing this 'easy patch'.
Works for me with the Synthful West Tek Visor, https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/32554
I have installed the west tek mod, the CTH, and the Loot detector. Awesome!
