Took me a while to figure out, connector cap wrong way around.
You may want to have a look at those PCB side solder joints, theyāre not shiny.

@Arzamenable omg this is too funny 
protip: use 10 coats of MG Chemicals #4223 and that little plastic piece is a thing of the past
and you can even solder through it if you need to later, unlike the plastic piece

Easy way to check is just reflow the solder.

All good you post pictures of solder connections you expect someone on the internet will not 100% approve 
Also fair points I guess, but I mean less exposed wire is less area some stray wire or other metal part might fall in and create a short between the bullets so some heatshrink is better than none even if it isnāt 100% flush (obviously more covered is better). The little gray connectors can only have 12AWG wire pass through them too looks like 10AWG is too big for the holes but I guess not a problem since I went with 12AWG anyhow.
Regarding the anemic amount of solder which part(s) are you looking at and thinking needs more solder? Typically I just try to coat the wire/pad entirely so there arenāt any strand that donāt appear coated in solder and no gap below the wire and the pad that isnāt filled in then give it a tug test and assume itās good if I canāt pull it off.

The 4223 ages a lot once you open the bottle. When you open it, itās about the consistency of 419D but as it ages over about 10 months it gets thicker and thicker. Eventually you can put huge thick coats on. But in the beginning you need 20 coats to make it thick and itās real drippy.
Gotta bring the prices up before black friday somehow ya know?
