I bought this sweet pair of Star Wars headphones a while back and went through hell to get them as they were backordered nearly everywhere at the time. They're beautiful and I love them to death, but they need to be fixed badly.
The only thing about it that was made poorly was it's ridiculous cord length. If I was listening to my mp3 player in my pocket, I would constantly trip on the wire. After some time, the headphone jack got, well... jacked up. From being repetitively violently pulled out from my mp3 whenever I tripped over it, it stopped working.
Anyway, sob story aside, I bought a new jack to replace it with. At this point I'm not even sure if I bought the right jack nor have any idea of how to wire it and at which terminals of the jack to do so.

These are the wires. The green one (I assume it is right side...) is coupled with a copper wire. The red (right, I assume) has copper wiring that seems coaxial. This coaxial cable is the only one without enamel coating.

This is the replacement jack I bought. (ignore the leftover solder...) I believe it was labeled 1/8 stereo when I bought it. The original jack was your typical 3.5mm jack.
If anyone could help me sort this out, I would really appreciate it. I've tried 3 times to solder this together and my last attempt was the closest but not by any means satisfactory. The best I could get was for one side to work, and only if I lifted the wire just right.
