I own a genuine 1998 EK9, B16B fitted obviously. Previously extended my stock harness for a wire tuck. Looked great however, I've returned my car to stock so I wanted to fit a stock harness. Stupid me I fitted an OBD2B harness and I'm one plug short to fit in my stock ecu.
What are my options? I've been told that the jumper connectors won't work and that I can only fit a OBD2A EK4/9 harness. Is this true?

Correct. The 99-00 OBD2b (EK9/EM1) harness is again, another concoction that changes the whole dash & engine harness setup to the ECU. One of the ECU plugs are integrated into the dash harness..
You can't use an OBD2b > OBD2a jumper harness because you don't have the 3rd OBD2b plug in your dash harness. That jumper only suits 99-00 model cars
98 EK9 harness is your best option. EK4 harness is next best option, but will still need a bit of fiddling to get right. Off the top of my head the differences are, Alternator plug (JDM has ELD), IAT location different, P/S pressure sensor (not found in AUDM)...
Can't you just return your "tucked" harness back to stock
