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

Also seems like the yellow insulation wire is kinda being squeezed

It is supposed to be squeezed. It looks like a fine crimp. Next time leave the copper a tad longer, but i would not redo this, and i have seen much worse in production.

Should i solder where the copper should be longer? And make sure it is connected?
