Generally, you speak about H-VPLS case, not P-P case.
So, hash-label is not needed for you because If your traffic is IP then 
src/dst IP address hashing is performed.
But you tell us that traffic don't distributed over available links.
I can assume that you have one src/dst IP pair in your traffic.
In this case nothing could help you.
You must remember that hash-label (rfc 6931) or entropy label (rfc 6790, 
do not supported by ALU) or native hashing can help only when sufficient 
random data exist in the traffic.
