Original Note:
The "jets" referred to in this post are not jets at all. These large pod-like structures serve as housing for the flap tracks, also known as Flap Track Fairings (FTFs). FTFs enclose the actuation mechanism of wing flaps, which can be extended and collapsed during flight. https://simpleflying.com/what-are-the-pods-found-under-an-aircrafts-wings/
