How am I supposed to soldering this? I have both soldering iron and a spool of solder. But most videos show soldering wires instead of what I need as you can see in the picture (disconeted cable on a laptop charger). I would higly appreciate any info and tutorial videos on this.

it’s hard to make out the photo solder flows towards the heat.

Thanks for all the info so far! I’m trying some stuff but failing miselably haha
You have a fair bit of room inside that plug, you can’t really go wrong unless you let stuff overheat. see if you can get a little solder on the top of the plug joint, then a little on the wire - then hold them together and apply the iron for 3-4 seconds. Assuming the iron is hot enough, that should be enough to melt them together. It’s intimidating at first, just take your time. it only takes a few seconds to get things hot enough to melt the solder, so don’t leave the iron on anything longer than about 5 seconds - once the solder starts to run, remove the heat and it will fuse as it cools. try to stay away from the plastic housing, obviously - but it wont matter if you accidentally touch the iron to the plastic - the only way you can screw this up is to get the pin too hot so that it melts the plastic housing - you would have to leave the iron on it for longer than 5 seconds for that to happen. look at the other joint. You’re trying to get it to look like that. It looks doable.
