Just a tip that many might use.
When faced with using a too large terminal just strip the wire a little more than twice as long as needed, bend the wire over double and then crimp in place. IOW use the additional wire as a filler.
I also agree on using the proper crimp tool. I do hate those cheap ones like the brand name "Crimp". Fortunately in many years I have collected enough crimping tools that I can do almost all of them.
And also there was a thread seveal years agou about whether to solder and crimp or just crimp. Related to mostly battery cables. It was noted that GM crimped only. Less trouble with corrosion as in green stuff. The connection then needs to be sealed.
