Good catch!

Pin 4 and Pin 1 short together.

The ring shorts to - nothing - RF bypassed to ground thru a cap so Jacks own metal frame is DC isolated - no shorts.

The Pin 1 and Pin 4 - SHORT TO THE BLACK WIRE in photo - that is foil ground - at the radio.

I see something may have struck the jack - tearing up some of the foil traces and may be...even breaking some of the pins at the jack itself - you'll need to probe to make sure that the pin is still electrically connected to the solder pad it is supposed to be.
