Enclosed output jack lug confusion

[DaffyJeffy]

Okay I apologize for such a bonehead noob question. I purchased this output jack on Amazon

I've been googling around for the last 45 mins trying to figure out how to wire this thing. I'm just using it in a standard mono setup. I assume the lug in the upper right of the picture is the ground because the metal appears to connect to the threaded case of the jack. the other two lugs are distinguished by one being short and the other being a tiny bit longer. Which one is the "tip" lead?

Yep I have a meter. How do I test it?

got a stereo cable? if not you can use a mono 1/4" to see what is tip and sleeve

Okay, yeah that seems so obvious now, lol. Thanks for the guidance.

Usually the shortest lug is the "tip", the next longer lug is the "ring", and the longest (as you already know) is the sleeve/ground.
