As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Connect the red wire to the red screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the green wire to the green screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the black wire to the black screw, and tighten the screw. Connect the yellow wire to the yellow screw, and tighten the screw. If the wiring does not match the colors of the jack, then follow these steps: First, connect the blue wire to the red screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the blue/white wire to the green screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the orange/white wire to the black screw, and tighten the screw. Then, connect the orange wire to the yellow screw, and tighten the screw. Then, screw the jack onto the wall with the appropriate screws. Connect a working telephone to the jack, and check for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then you have successfully connected all of the wires to the jack. If you do not hear a dial tone, check to make sure that all of the wires are securely on the screws, and that none of the copper has come off of the wire.
