Fuck electronics, soldering, wires, solder and other soldery ****!!!

I have made the mistake of trying to install Dimarzio pickups into a Epiphone guitar. I need 4 hands to hold the volume or tone pots while soldering the wires. I even had my ******* to hold the wire in place while trying to solder, it doesn’t adhere and if it gets hot enough it rolls off into the electronics cavity.

I have scratched and scored the pots in advance and still it does not grab the surface.

Does anyone here have any experience in wiring electronics or specifically guitars?
What am I doing wrong?
