Now it's time to solder the wires to the back of the PCB.

Using the pin assignments from step 4, solder the colored wires to the correct USB solder pad. Then solder the braid to a ground connection. (The outside of the USB plug will be grounded - use one of those pads.)

I used some heat shrink around the excess ground braid, just to be safe.

Use as small piece of electrical black tape to insulate the wires from the rest of the PCB.
