To clarify, you need to have the Wards targetted before you use the quest item.
As of today it doesn't seem like you're able to complete this quest. Upon accepting it from Ve'nari you don't receive the Broker Device needed to reinforce the Soul Wards. No amount of logging out, abandoning, or restarting seems to be able to fix it.

What to do
Description
Though you may wish to depart with your precious souls in tow, we now have additional matters to settle first. The Eye of the Jailer is upon you. And that does not bode well for either of us. Take this device. You will reinforce my wards to ensure he does not take notice of me as well. The last thing I need is a loud, inelegant mortal bringing more attention my way. I can't have the Jailer capturing me, after all. I'm far too valuable.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rule 1: Have an Escape Plan
Many doomed souls suffer within the Maw. You must be careful if you do not wish to join them. Your Soulkeeper can hold a small number of souls until you return to your covenant. But that will be of little benefit if you do not survive this place yourself.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rule 3: Trust is Earned
Before you leave this cursed realm, there is one final task you must complete for me. The Mawsworn regularly transfer souls to various blocks of Torghast from many different areas in the Maw. I happen to know of one such area.
