Snip the ends and then do it again. It seems you simply took what you had and tried to make it work. With all the solder already embedded in the wire, it's difficult to bring it up to optimum temperature an it ends up looking this way. Also, the way the wires look stressed in those angles is indicative that you over tinned. It's killing the flexibility of the wire. use something to hold the wires steady and solder them all at an identical angle so it looks clean.
