We are given this counter diagram:
7777ee - Copy.png

And we must locate the mistakes and correct them, to make sure it's a synchronous mod-15 counter.
Now, from what I've tried it should look like this:

7777ee - Copy - Copy.png
So when it reads 1110 (14), it resets the counter to 0000.
Is my answer correct?

Your answer in incorrect.

Do you have this circuit in a simulator? If so, what does it show happening during the transition from 13 to 14?

Thank you.

No I don't, it's supposed to be hand-drawn using Karnaugh etc. and I tried solving it as is.

For starters, your proposed solution is not a synchronous counter because you are using the asynchronous resets as part of the normal operation. Note that even the original circuit did not use (or even have) the resets.
