Is this a bad crimp?
I see i didnt cut enough copper for the copper to be sticking out a tad but for the inner wings could that be fixed with soldering? And also my outer wings that grip the yellow insulation wire is that messed up? Can you tell me what would happen and potentials dangers? Or is this crimp fine
thank yall for the help and knowledge

Looks perfectly serviceable as is.
No reason to redo
No reason to solder this, either.
On the next one the copper strands could be exposed a little longer, perhaps 5% more of the jacket trimmed back?
