PJ-398SM Mono Jack

Last “mistake”, I used the Erthenvar Jack footprints for the 4 Jack connectors. 
Those Jacks connectors are fine. In fact, I use them often. But I misjudged their height, 
compared to other control components, pots and switches. “Erthenvar Jacks” (WQP-PJ301BM is 11.5mm height,
 where other components are 10mm height.
The right alternative is WQP-PJ398SM. 
To use them instead, you need to bend the ground pin and add a bit of wire to join the PCB ground pad.
