first off never heatshrink with a blowdryer. a heatshrink gun exists for a
reason. secondly when you heatshrink do it away from components. aim
specifically towards the shrink wrap and nothing else. what you should've
done is heatshrinked it first before solderin it up to the board. sorry to
hear this.
fortunately it is only your first build and not a major module. you're on
the right track. keep it up.
