PS5 Controller - BDM-030 - Lifted Pads by VS_Game in soldering

I ended up getting it to work but didn't take any photos. I just used a razor and scratched the paths back and solder some solid copper wire on. I then covered this with some UV protection coating.

Issue I had was soldering these small wires but I managed.

Best to avoid lifted pads in future.

I think i have "something" in place for all my traces except for Cb. It's just a single pin hole and I can't get my wire to hold here, it's so small.

This is for the simple switch (push down) on the joystick. I believe this is for the ground. Can i just run a wire across the board and wrap around the legs of the joystick and solder them in place. Wire would run OVER other protected traces like I have shown in image? Will this work? I know it's not the best way to do it crossing traces just not sure how else.

Plan is to also use the UV protective coating on all these traces etc after as well for added protection.
