hyphenation - Use of the en dash instead of the hyphen in compound adjectives

I have the following taken from a paper that I am editing:





… proposed a water-filling factor aided search method to solve …




My question is related to whether I should use an en dash to connect the adjectives here, as in:




… water-filling factor–aided search method …





Can anyone please help me out? Is this understandable? Is this the correct way to do it?



Is “water-filling-factor-aided search method”, all with hyphens, a little weird?
