What kind of iron are you working with? What kind of solder are you using? Those 2 things alone can make a big difference. Practice is necessary too, of course--but if you're trying to work with inferior equipment and/or solder, it may be harder than it should be...
It has more been an issue of my not understanding exactly where and how the solder is supposed to go on hotswap sockets
Ooh, i see. Unfortunately i don't have any experience soldering these...just pcbs, wires, etc. Hopefully someone else here can help out!
