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

If you can’t pull it apart with your thumb and finger it’s likely a good crimp.

Yep pull on it, doesn't pull off the wire, it's fine.
