Hirsch,
Follow the runs over to the right where they enter into the small PCB. Trace the runs and it appears that it shorts the horizontal pairs there at that circuit board. The pieces of metal only transfer the sound to the PCB, and from there it gets shorted together. If you look, almost everything uses vertical pairs for RCA jacks. Every source I've owned ran them in vertical pairs, not horizontal ones. It makes sense that these would follow suit and be connected in vertical pairs. But since they are shorted you can use either a pair directly above one another, or like I did use a pair of opposite corners.
There may be different models with different configurations. When mine are connected in horizontal pairs it hums and the sound is horrible. When I switch over to a vertical pair, in my case I use the upper right and lower left. it sounds perfect.
