nes top loader control port issues. custom case

I'm modding an nes top loader to fit into a custom case, I also added a multi out with a board for upgraded video and sound. All that is working fine, I had to move the ac port and control ports off of the board to fit my me case. At first control port 2 did not work at all (besides hitting "b" over and over intermittently. I checked for continuity amd found a damaged trace so I jumped that to the next point. Now everything works except "start" (possibly select but I can't tell for sure as select has no function on 2nd player port with the only game I have to test it on,mario 3.) Any help greatly appreciated, and yes I did switch the controls and they both work fine and completey in port 1.

 

Nevermind, I put the game in my front loader and Luigi just doesn't get to pause, lol. I'm very excite! Onto mounting in custom case!
