I'm trying to solder on the flex cable for a PicoFly. I've added some solder to the bottom two points that are touching the metal surrounding the CPU. However, I seem to only be making a bigger and bigger ball of solder when trying to melt it. I've upped the temperature on my iron but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. What am I doing wrong?

I just brought the shield up as a point of reference to describe what I'm referring to. However, in the videos and posts I've seen for the chip I have, they all seem to have some portion of solder touching the shield.
