Hi Aurelio, good work!
After getting this far, if I were you I would use a new 15 watt low power pen soldering iron to unplug the two wires.
Then remove that solder mess on the PCB. Clearly it was not correctly soldered.
Now you need a audio oscillator (I use my multimeter that has a built in 2Khz signal) to test the buzzer and make sure it works.
Then resolder the wires using a low melting point good quality solder, using adequate heating to make a good solder joint (if the soldering iron requires more than 2 seconds to make an good melting it means you are using a underpowered tool).
Good luck with it.
