How is the wire run to the lights?  A motion sensor requires power at all
times.  So if all that runs to the middle light is controlled by the switch
then you'll need to run new wire.  Is there metal conduit for these lights
or are they in-ground using direct burial wire?  It may be as simple as
running a new line to the desired sensor location and re-routing how the
power comes to/from the switch to the other lights.
