My technique was tinning the pads with flux (and solder) and then soldering the connectors with the heat gun. Had to touch up a few with the iron because they were moving.
Next time I'd use solder paste and heat gun.
Glad you found it.
Actually a customer of mine told me yesterday they had the same problem (they had soldered themselves). In the past we've seen this culprit often. Will see if I can improve the experience at a reasonable price.
