Oh btw what do you think is wrong with that soldering other than the fact that the chip legs were bend? Everything has a fine contact and solder joints are clean (no cold joints).
Nothing is wrong with the soldering per-se (apart from the (over)use of flux), but you obviously don't have SMD equipment, but rather used a soldering-iron instead which is generally a bad idea when dealing with SMD components as you can easily damage them with excessive heat (plus you are far more likely to apply too much solder which can lead to unnoticed short-circuits on the surface tracks).
