I have two middle names and have had JL awards with both, just one and no middle names and never have had an issue. As long as your first and last names are correct, you shouldn't have a problem. You could ask AS to update the reservation to include the middle name.

I recently flew a friend out from Africa on an AA award on QR & AS. He goes by his middle name and I booked it as such. QR wouldn't allow the name because it didn't match his passport. It took AA two days to swap the two names and another to propogate through to AS. When I called AS to change an additional separate international segment, they did it in two minutes.
