There's nothing wrong with wirewrapping.  Wirewrap connections actually
have a lower resistance than  solder connections because more surface
area of the wire makes contact with the pin.  If you try something else,
a plug with jumpers is a far, far better option than soldering to the
pins.

It appears than nothing is wrong anyway, because if you're getting at
least one bar of ALC indication, that means you have sufficient audio out
of the microphone.
