What if I accidently soldered one TRRS jack to the top and the other to the bottom? Is there any hope for me? Should I jump them the same way on both sides or should I jump them based on the side that the TRRS jack is placed on? I attempted to take the jack off with a solder sucker to no avail.

Pretty sure it need to be soldered as you see it, on the same side of the Jack. I made the same mistake, I used the desolder pump to remove it, took a couple of tries to get it all, I really had to create a seal to get all the solder out. It was tricky and the jack needed a little wiggling, but I manged it. Maybe give it another go?
This is a heads-up to any future readers
While this guide does work to explain the build process for the Let's Split keyboard, I recommend viewing the updated guide linked at the top of the page. The difference that made me notice that this guide is out-of-date is the wiring for the RGB underglow. In this section, there is no reason to wire both sides of the LED strip to the VCC and GND-- using either the unused jumper pads (or the jumpers themselves) will work. Additionally, though there may be a reason behind this, the guide here defines the number of LEDs as "10" but only shows 8 being wired. There may be other differences but those two stood out.
@tybenz - I had a similar issue on Linux so this may not work for you, but my solution was to run the avrdude command separately with sudo. I think the issue is that the make command wasn't capitalizing the portion after /dev/tty (in my case, "ACM1"). I copied the .hex file to my keymap folder, reset my pro-micro manually, then quickly ran the "extended" avrdude command: sudo avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P /dev/ttyACM1 -c avr109 -U flash:w:lets_split_rev2_custom.hex
Sorry everyone! I didn't realize people were still coming here after the new guide was setup. Here's the updated guide!
