the headphone is at node 0x15

        control.16 {
                iface CARD
                name 'Headphone Jack'
                value true
                comment {
                        access read
                        type BOOLEAN
                        count 1
                }
        }

you need to use hda_jack_sense_test.py which require python and hda codec
parser of hda-analyzer to find out

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66621#c39

pd=1 when plugged and pd=0 when unplugged

or hda-verb GET_PIN_SENSE

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/plain/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt

1) the node of the headphone of the dock headset

node 0x16 , 0x18 and 0x19 which pincap support output

try hdajackretask or early patching to fix the pin default to dock headphone

2) for the dock headset mic , you need to find by trial and error from the
remaining unconnected nodes which pincap support input

node 0x13, 0x19, 0x1b, 0x1d


https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/log/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c?qt=grep&q=dock

 0x21a11000  /* dock-mic */

need to set bit 8 if dock headset mic use jack detection of headphone
instead of jack detection of its own pin compex

 0x2121103f  /* dock-HP */
 0x21440100  /* dock SPDIF out */

you need to clear bit 8 if pincap of node 0x1e support DETECT
