Glad you got it working! Looks like a nice, tidy soldering job. Can't tell well from the pics, but it looks to me like the nut on the barrel jack needs to be tightened down a bit more. Also curious why there is no shielding under the pots? Since the pots are grounded it probably won't make any difference, but usually the case of the pot touches the shield when the nut gets tightened down.
FWIW Most of the wiring diagrams were developed years ago. The one you are referring to is 11 years old. As the website notes, they were mostly drawn by a member (aka a volunteer). If you take a look on-line you'll see that different barrel jacks configure their lugs differently. Same thing happens with switches. The diagrams are offered as advice, not gospel, so it's generally a good idea to test the parts before soldering.
These charts predate the new owner, and they are generally helpful, but one still needs to test to make sure that the parts are spec'd correctly. If anything is not as it should be, my experience has been that PitBull does a good job of rectifying the issue, including sending out new parts. That said, wiring colors, switch and jack lugs are subject to slight variations over time. Members on the forum are often aware of them as in this case, which is why it's good to ask here.
The chart in question, actually looks pretty good to me, and may have been correct for the jack that came with kits back in 2014. That said, if one follows this diagram exactly, the only error I see is at the jack, and would have just required unsoldering and and resoldering one of the connections on the jack. The pots actually look right in the diagram to me...unless I am missing something?
In my time I have FUBAR'd plenty of electronic components, particularly in the beginning, and still any time I get in a rush. Usually I do what you did, and get some new parts. But for those fortunate enough to live in Australia, Tim has offered to help with parts if asked.
