Can't Communicate with SM5100B-D

Wireless & IoT
1

I have the above board. I can’t get communication to the board at all. I have pictures attached of my setup and I am using the following standard code. I also have some concern with what seems like a poor soldering job on my cell connector which I have called out via a arrow in the picture.
