Ok so I decided to use 30 gauge wire wrapping wire and wire wrap that onto my nickel strips that I connected onto my LED setup then trim off any excess nickel strip. What I like about this is this wire is very fine so it takes up hardly any space and by being able to wrap it on I did not have to apply heat which could have desoldered my smd components by accident. I also like that it is already insulated and color coded so I don't have to worry about insulating my nickel strips the whole run to wherever this connects. To insulate the whole LED contraption here I used packing tape so I can see all my components well but still have them electrically isolated. I just folded the packing tape over the whole assembly like closing a book over a bookmark.
note: after wire wrapping the wire wrapping wire I noticed it was not that tight on there. I did not use a wire wrapping tool because I lost mine so I just used needle nose tweezers to manually wrap it around and around. Anyways to tighten it well I just crimped it with the tip of my wire strippers that has some kind of toothed pliers that crimps things well. After doing that the connection appears very solid.
