You should put your modem next to the master socket, rather than extending the VDSL
Not an option, as master is in loft without power.
Yep that's what I have, this pair on the inside?

It's a shame there isn't a PoE VDSL modem :( Some sort of PoE injector might work but is a lot of faff.
I can't tell it that splitter is the VDSL bit or the POTS bit from that photo but I think B A are the right terminals. VDSL is directly wired to the line anyway, the filtering is on the POTS side so you can't go far wrong.

I had the same problem (of my own creation admittedly, because the master socket was somewhere else originally but in a dumb place) so I ran power to mine.
I also installed LED bulkhead lights, four ethernet cable runs to elsewhere in the house and a bunch of smart home stuff. It's still a work in progress so the wiring and so on will eventually be tidier.
@jellybaby is right in that running ethernet is a better solution, but knowing when to stop is also a gift (that I basically don't have).

You should put your modem next to the master socket, rather than extending the VDSL, as you will improve your line speed. Then extend the network with Ethernet out the back of the modem.
If you really must extend the Ethernet then use a VDSL filter that screws into your NTE5. That has internal terminals for wiring a twisted pair to where your modem is.
You only need 1 pair connected in the RJ11, middle two pins IIRC.
