you may have bent the pins on the clip look with magnifier to see you can sometimes bend them back with a pin GENTLY

My Wii does NOT play dvd's after a mod chip and homebrew install. Im think You gotta install homebrew and a dvd launcher or something. I use my xbox for dvd's and media streaming so I will probably not worry about it.
Make a backup and try that.

As for the soldered points; if your d2pro has a white serial sticker than u gotta solder d, e, f.
If the sticker is yellow you should be ok. At least thats how I understand it.

If you want my advice take that shitty clip and toss it. Solder everything. Its not that hard. Especially if you got a Yellow sticker.

Looky here; I just went had similar issues with my wii clip....it bent a couple of pins on my d2c cause I pushed TOO HARD

My practice happened on an old hard drive and went very badly untill I got the right shit together. The size of your solder tip/ wire/ and solder are at least half the battle.
Get some 30 awg kynar(wire wrap) and some .22 solder and flux and some de-solder braid from the source (radio shack) and its all gravy after that.
My new weller temp controlled iron went a long way aswell. Try and find a 15 watt iron; the 30 watter is way overkill.

I got the shakes something fierce aswell; so I used a "helping hands" (some mounted alligator clips and a magnifing glass) also available at radio shack to hold the kynar wire steady in place. 5 minutes to get the wire in position and 2 seconds to solder it.

Good luck!!
