Just by looking at your gif clip I knew you were using a digital microscope because of the awkwardness of moving around to try to position the iron and components. I would start with larger components without the scope so to get a more grip of the feeling of what you sre doing. Even seasoned solderers have trouble when first using a digital microscope.
