How can I avoid loose connection between component and PCB?

It is a nice looking breadboard, but the terminals are too loose to make a good connection on any components. so I couldn't actually use them for anything.

If your order has not been placed, I remind you to tell your supplier the pin diameters of the component that will be on this board.

However, your order is finished. But there is still a solution.

Use the components with an advisable pin diameter.
Then, keep other components with too thick pin diameters in stock, for the next order.
Don’t forget to tell the pin size to your supplier next time.

What kinds of test is suitable for low volume PCB order?

I’ve ordered fabrication and assembly of small PCB batches (100pcs) a couple of times already. Each time the factory asked me if I want to do test on the PCB. But I don’t what to do about it. And I test them by myself. Then, the result of the testing is unacceptable with 15% soldering problems. So bad. I think I will ask the supplier to test them before delivery.

Why would a PCB designer use thicker-than-normal copper for a PC board design?

When I sourcing PCB online, I found some of them are with heavy copper. Why would the designer use copper for PCB?

How can I fix the PCB to the mechanical structure?

I designed a PCB with an imaging sensor that is mechanically coupled to a lens assembly using four 2-56 screws. I’m noticing that even though the screws are holding the board tightly against the mechanical structure if I flick or lightly knock the the assembly the image “moves”. I’m hoping to get a few suggestions for ways to fix the PCB to the mechanical structure. Any suggestions for adhesives or the like? Something else?
