The other pins and just to hold the connector in place (which can be done with hot glue once your are sure everything is working). If you can’t do it, you will need to solder tiny wires to the 2 pins next to each other. Make sure that those 2 pins are not short toghether (Solder and wire should NOT bridge the pins toghether [no contact between them]).
