Maybe I need to try tinning the tip again.

Yeah, sounds like it. Make sure the tip is tinned when touching the pads so heat transfer can occur more effectively.

I’ll need to watch some videos. I tried running but the solder always drips off the tip and doesn’t stick ️

Hmm, sounds like you need more heat, hot solder likes to run up metal surfaces and stick well.
