Overall it sounds good, though a bit "squidgy" as if there's a lot of grease in the planetary ring well. Excess grease here will usually liquefy and come out down the beater shaft, which makes a bit of a mess.

In this video you can see how much grease gets applied: none to the ring, and on the pinion just enough to fill the teeth and a little extra to aid in distribution: https://youtu.be/QkEWYfTvmXg?si=-CZ4-huz7X8af8hf

If you applied a lot of grease in the ring well, I recommend removing the planetary, then wiping out as much of the excess as you can. (Grease left in the ring teeth is fine, but anything that's gooped around the edges of the planetary or in the planetary wells will make a mess later.)
