Why do through-hole components fail to solder correctly down onto the PCB?

I am an electrical engineer in a company. Recently I am developed a new product in lab and making a sample for further confirmation. When I solder TH component, feel a little troublesome. Any soldering expert to help?

(Even the soldering process is under the suggested temperature.)

1.Component’s lead temperature is too cold and cannot form a good solder join.

2.Through-Hole Dimensions on the PCB are insufficient (too small)

3.Physical damage to the solder joint after soldering
After soldering, some processes may cause physical stress and fracturing, such as installing a heat sink on the surface, or installing unfitted plastic case molding.

When should I choose 2 layer PCB or 4 layer PCB?

Our brand was focused on common electronic product with single PCB. And this year, we plan to develop a smart range which may require multiple layer PCB. Want to know more about 2 layer PCB or 4 layer PCB.

How can I electrically isolate a PCB from a heat sink?

I have a set of LED driving lights for motorcycle that must be wired through a ground-leg pulse width modulation dimmer. The problem is the mounting bracket for the lights is grounded, so the lamp shorts to ground through the motorcycle chassis and the PWM dimmer cant dim the lamps. How do I handle this problem?

How does PCB manufacturer work for double sided SMT assembly with BGA’s?

How does a conventional board house deal with the issue of reflow during PCB component assembly with BGA’s on both sides of the board?
Are two different solders used (like regular lead free SAC305 and a low temp?)
