Is this any better?

damn you need to take that off and re-attech the two drowned caps. Way to much solder were used here and most likely no flux?

I did use flux but i have no idea how to go about removing all that solder

If the solder is solidified then just use some alcohol on a toothbrush or something.

No solder wick?
Preheat the board a little and go over the excess solder with the wick and the soldering iron.
Its definately fixable.
After that resolder the tiny capacitors. Best with flux and a hotair station. I doubt you will be able to resolder them by hand with an iron. No offense here, its extremly difficult to solder these tiny caps by hand.

Learn to solder on an old laptop motherboard or something else that isn't your Switch. You can re-create the situation you have and then practice correcting it.

Your current issue is too much solder. You should be able to fix it with some good flux and a clean soldering iron tip.
You need something like this to clean the solder off your soldering iron tip
Make sure you have plenty of flux on the components
Touch the excess solder with the clean tip and then drag the solder away from the components
If that doesn't work you can try the solder braid.
