Tried to replace a iPad air charger port, Pulled 3 pads however, Pads 3,9 and 27
soldered new port in iPad still charges, pads 3,9 & 27 are ground pads
1.) should these ground pads be connected using jumper wires? im at a loss to where to connect them
if No
does this not make the circuit open, and is it safe?

Never hand my hands on one of these rascals, so please take my comments with a grain of salt if you want. :-) Your unit maybe charging OK but does the connector also handle any data lines; the ground connections may come into play then if it does. For example when transferring files back and forth between a computer and your tablet. Just a thought......

I agree with @propman , ground is there for a reason and most sensitive rails may suffer a lack of grounding. Choose the closest grounding spots you can find with your multimeter and make a couple of bridges to be on the safe side.
