Nice looking still. The easiest way to get the silver solder to run, is to get it damn hot. Just on the edge of burning a hole in it.
You don't need flux either on copper to copper joints, shine em up with a bit of steel wool and go for it.
Use the heat to draw a little solder right round the job, watch how it follows the heat and apply the flame to where you want it to go ie; drawn right in the joint. It'll never have a hole in the solder if you apply enough heat right around it, and it was clean to start with.

You can leave it at that for a nice neat joint, but i like to go back round with a slightly lower heat (hold the torch further away) and apply a thick seam of solder right around where the two pieces join.

You shouldn't need to add more solder or flux to fix those joints, just get it hotter.

I do a lot of silver soldering most days.

Hey Trent, well done.

I'm not gonna knock your soldering coz I haven't posted pic's of mine yet.

Did you end up getting your fittings from Parkwood Plumbing?

Cheers,

Scott.
