is the back of the plate shielded? Was it going into the screw hole to connect that shielding

Edit: it's earthed thorough the plate of course.
Interestingly it looks like the string ground wire has come adrift at the stud insert end, and been fixed by driving a screw into the hole so it contacts the stud - this does work, and although it's a *little* bit of a bodge, it's a lot easier than pulling the stud insert out of the body and fixing it 'properly'.
If you want to reduce noise even further, shorten the red, white and especially the black wires from the 3-core cable to the absolute minimum lengths needed to reach their terminals. Check the switch end too - this cabling is the biggest source of noise in a Les Paul.
