If it has 2 rings in the middle, then it's a TRRS rather than a TRS. TRS stands for tip, ring, sleeve. TRRS is tip, ring, ring, sleeve. I still feel that you should be using a TRRS as there are 2 extra wires there for the microphone Can you please send a photo of the jack that you cut off...

I'm just a self taught DIYer so I could be wrong, but it looks like you are replacing a TRRS connector with a TRS connector. In other words, check that the plug you cut off is has the same number of rings as the one you are replacing it with. I suspect that they are not the same number of rings...

In that case i'd rather wait until it's officially available instead of dealing directly with manufacturers directly that would probably not be interested in selling small quantities. Some suppliers on alibaba didn't look trustworthy.

If there is somewhere that you can purchase it, I'm sure a lot of people would be willing to try it out. :) From a quick google, I don't see anyone selling any though. :(
