The left picture is the better of the two. Either way you could feed a little more solder in there. But either of those connections would technically be fine. Try a little faster solder feed next time.

try a little more flux and little solder.

The left one does look great. The right is a little light on the solder, but still looks like it'll hold well.

That flux is old. So old it dried out. Flux should be goopy like jelly.

That does look old and dried out! The stuff I've used has been more like paste.
