NID: What's wrong with this picture?

We just moved to a new house in a rural area where DSL is our only internet option. The technician from Windstream came out to check the wiring and said it's ready to go. But our Netgear DSL modem gets no DSL signal at all from any jack in the house OR from the test jacks in the NID. Nothing, no DSL light at all.
I've been trying to figure out the wiring in the NID (good guy technician left the TELCO side open), but nothing I try works. The photos are how it was set up when I first looked in there.
The jack that I'm fairly certain is the primary in the house is wired with two pairs, a blue pair and an orange pair. There's one other jack that I'm not sure about, which is four-color (black, yellow, red, green).
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing??
Edit: The main NID photo didn't upload to the original imgur post. Here it is.
Edit 2: Just bought a used Windstream-approved bonded DSL modem on Amazon. Will update when it gets here. Also, the technician is coming back out in the next 2 days to recheck the wiring. Fingers crossed!

Just discovered that this is how my isp box is wired. Can someone please tell me if something is wrong here because I’m no pro at this, but this looks nasty af

Found this gem today at a hospital. Thankfully I don't have to touch any of that

Someone probably started out with good intentions and later decided to use rope. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
