yes I think that’s exactly it. Thank you!
There are 2 white wires coming out of “the second battery” (the one still under the cover in the photo) and one goes to frame/ground, while the other goes into the trailer along with 2 red wires going to the “first battery”.
So I’ll reconnect the short black wire between first battery neg and second battery pos. I’ll connect the 2 red coming out off the trailer to first battery pos. And I’ll connect the black wire coming out of the trailer jack to first battery pos.
Right?
Now I am also buying 2 new batteries and need a tip on that but I’ll put that in a separate thread.
The white wire straight to the frame is a perfect indication of a ground wire. So I would assume the other white is ground from within the trailer.

The way I read your post I believe you have it right. But to be sure, based on what you are describing you should be wired as below. Except I had to use green to signify ground since a white wire obviously wouldn't show up. I also labeled the batteries to avoid confusion.
