Sorry, and I appreciate English is not your first language, but you will need to be clearer and use more appropriate English words as it does not make sense with what you have written. The pics look fine at first inspection.

Is your jumper cable shielded?
It's possible you used a short speaker cable instead?

So, if you plug into each input individually each one works normally with normal response?

Then if you plug guitar into Hi bright and jumper lo bright to hi normal you get a squeal, not hum or buzz?

A duff lead would be my first guess too, or faulty switching jack?

Suggest recheck the jack wiring and the grounds first.

How long have you had the amp running?
