Based on the pictures you've got a few things wrong.

1) You are supposed to use the solder tabs (the things with the small holes in them) to connect your wires, not the pressure spring parts that you are using.

2) You are not using ground on either phone jack.  Please use an ohmmeter to determine which solder tab is the correct one.
