BGAs are actually easy, but proper stencil design, solder paste placement and oven profiles are a must. Especially oven profiles as this is your only indication that the inner balls have reached proper temp, since you cannot visually tell. If you g

That you can get good solder flow when hand soldering seems to indicate that the temperature of your solder pot is too low. Still, I'm uneasy that you see gold on the pads after passing the board across the solder pot. Gold is so thin with ENIG. So
