Where should I solder the ground wires? HyperX Cloud II detachable cable mod

Filingo

I want to finish the detachable cable mod for my broken HyperX Cloud II:

This is what I (think) I should do:

  1. Blue wire (Left) - solder to pin 1

  2. Green wire (Right) - solder to pin 2

  3. Pink wire (Mic) - solder to pin 3

  4. Red wire (Ground/Neutral?) + Orange wire (From the mic module) - solder together to pin 4

 

I actually did it, and it worked - I soldered both ground wires (red and orange) to pin 4. But I am bad at soldering so it didn't hold (I will try again). I just wonder if they should really be soldered together there to pin 4 or it can cause interreference, and maybe the mic orange ground should go together to the main board

 

However in the original cable, the mic ground and live were twisted together inside the cable until the 3.5mm connector. But it was covered so I don't know where it was soldered at the end. And Maybe originally it also had both wires (Red and Orange) soldered to the same pin?

 

** Each orange wire in my drawing is actually a bundle of exposed thin copper wires (without coating)
