Nothing is to be soldered! There are screw terminals. That is a USB-C power cord bought off-the-shelf.

That is a 5v/3A rated cable. Obviously you can crank up the supply to deal with the voltage drop across the cable and deliver 5-5.1V at the Pi but is the connectorization rated for 5A? 22 AWG stranded wire by itself should be rated for 7A max. Short and thicker cables will get you less voltage drop.
Look at the current rating of Phoenix connector - 12A should be o.k. - or do you have different oppinion?

Done here. If you need more details look at the components spec. Shouldn't be to difficult.
No attack intended... was just pointing out that the referenced cable did not have an appropriate rating, since this might not have been obvious to the OP. Unfortunately these days, depending on the reliability of the manufacture, the claimed specs may be completely fabricated, though they usually don't "underclaim" things.
