Are those heated pliers for desoldering and soldering or extra heat applied that's not shown in the video? I tried looking up soldering desoldering electric heated pliers but couldn't find anything

No no, there’s no such thing as heated pliers. We apply heat to the underside of the motherboard at 480 degrees using a heat gun to melt the solder, allowing us to remove the damaged port. Immediately afterward, we solder a new one in place. It’s a very delicate and precise process.

Thanks for the video. I am really struggling with this repair. I can do PS5 hdmi port no problem but Xbox S S is giving me issues. When I put the new port on, not all of the pins will stick. Say 4 pins are not stuck so I try to manual solder them but I end up making a mess and joining pins. Any advice?

most likely need to get better flux or solder if both of them are good you should be able to just use the drag solder method over all pins and it not stick between em n do bridges i see most using a curved tip on their iron also but i like the knife tip for them also just has a lil more heat and i can use end to come between pins if there is a bridge.

Use Low-Melt Solder like ChipQuik - It definitely helps. I'll try to add a video of the whole HDMI Removal process.
