  • I see you bent the pins to prevent the components from moving around. That helps, but makes soldering in tight spaces difficult and can lead to shorts. You could get away with less solder, and some parts look like they didn’t get hot enough.

    A little dab on the iron for good heat transfer, warm up the wire and pad for about 3s and then apply solder to the opposite end. If everything’s hot enough, solder will wick away. After cooling you should have a little cone shape.
