Edit: Are you by any chance not using flux or are you using an iron with too low temperature, shevalier?
Solder a few smd electrolytes on an unnecessary board.
Diameters 5, 8 and 10 mm. The latter will be in power circuits and at ground/power plane.
Then break them off by rotating, as I drew above.
Look at the result.
PS. I also thought for a long time that everything is OK.
Lack of contact across the entire pad results in increased ESR&ESL and no mechanical strength.
