S7 Headphone Issue? Only Sound In One Ear.

Hello folks i had the same problem suddenly just b4 yesterday and I tried everything to fix it with no luck so i decided it was a hardware issue . I took a sewing needle and started playing with the clips inside the headphone jack with no luck either for 2 days and today I found an xray image of the s7 edge and got an idea since the right channel doesnt work the problem must be either the right ear clip or the right ear ground ( the second and third clips of the jack ) i took the needle and with only one magic gentle bend outwardly to the second clip from the left side as phone faces you everything came back to work i will attach the image and hope this helps you

Sorry to dig up an old thread but thanks for this !
Usually my headphones become loose and I clean the port and remove any lint.
This time, my right headphone was working erratically. I tried cleaning up with a toothpick, with cotton and alcool, nothing worked.
Then I tried your method, slightly bent the clips outwards, and my right headphone is now working all the time !
