Clean the area really good and use as still heat as possible. I like the last layout where the wires will take the stress. If you bend them it only needs to be slight enough to add contact to the solder run. Don't have it bend over more than 1mm. Literally you want just enough. Then just solder like normal. Allow wicking action to pull the solder and fill the hole/connection point.
