All the jumpers are conducting the signal to corresponding SATA connectors pins? This is right time to check by a DC Ohmmeter. You may loose O-ring if it is on inactive side of PCB. If other side with a PCB trace is OK, the connection will be OK.
You have decreased the stray capacitance by replacing larger jumper by smaller. If they are conducting right and not shorted between each other, this is all you may done here.
Looking into the dmesg output...
I had some paste laying around with soldering iron so I assume it was flux as it was non conductive. Cleaned it after with methylated spirit and a tooth brush, something I had at home.
I tested for shorts yesterday and there were none between neighbouring pins. Sata connector pinout is the same on both connectors. Pins 2,3,5 and 6 are linking to soldered posts. pins 1,4 and 7 have no connections to soldered posts and looking online for pinout they are ground
