Something's very wrong here. The socket looks OK to me, maybe it needs cleaning or retentioning of the contacts, and the grid cap connector could also be cleaned up. Check to see which tube is correct here, I don't think it is a 7J7.
In any case, it wouldn't be such a chore to replace the socket if you want to, just take a few more pictures, and make sure you get it right.
