I would go for a systemd service to do that, given that you distro is 
systemd based.

[Unit]
Description=JACK startup on boot.
After=sound.target

[Service]
User=USERNAME
Environment="XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/USERID"
ExecStart=path/to/your/script

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

were USERNAME needs to be replaced with your username, and USERID with 
your ID, get it with

id -u $(logname)

then save the file into

/usr/lib/systemd/system/jack.service

and run

systemctl enable jack.service
systemctl daemon-reload
