Just had to use my heat gun to separate the 2 boards for the 2nd time because of this issue and im getting demoralised. I just cant avoid making bad connections.

I just ordered a practice board to avoid this, as I don't have a heat gun if I make a mistake.

I'll add one quick note, the holes on the practice board where a bit bigger than the holes on the pi zero. I was able to feed solder in a slight gap on the practice board but had no such gap on the real deal. It was still good practice and worth buying. It was very satisfying to to hear the continuity tone when checking my work.
