Actually you hold all four flush cards with KQJx suited also. QJT is
the only 3RF that you hold over a 4-flush when there is a conflict.

Why do you think it's wrong? Gut feeling?
The short version is: yes, and because it's better.
The slightly longer version is, if you consider each hold in turn, and
multiply the payoff of each outcome by the the probability that it
occurs, the weighted sum of the results is higher holding AQJx suited
over a pair of JJ.

I suggest that obtaining some of the available software, or if you
want to be frugal, simply Googling the strategy for common games,
would be superior to your apparent attempt to acquire the correct
strategy in a piecemeal fashion or by guessing.
I mean, if you care about having the correct strategy, at some point
you are either going to have to trust a strategy you find or are given
by someone else, or trust a piece of software to compute it correctly
for you, or else do it by hand yourself. Pick whichever one works for
you.
