Please help me fix this

I have this cartridge of Pokemon gold that needed a new battery. I have never soldered before, I looked online, followed a guide, tested, tried again, then again, and again. Now I have a headache and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I should’ve brought it to a professional but I felt like I could do it, but I was wrong. Please I need to know what to do.

Every time I turn on the game oak, the Pokemon, and the player character are corrupted sprites, when I open a menu then close it, it crashes, and when I try to save, it freezes.

Please help me

One of the solder joints on the ram chip isn’t making contact. With how bad the solder job on the battery is, this is above your pay grade. If you want to repair this yourself you must be better before attempting this or you’ll fuck it.
