LED Issues

I asked this in a different thread but wanted to have specific direction regarding the issue. Here's the story:

Cut out my cubby hole light to wire the gauge overlays, bought a blue LED and electrical wire to solder it back into the original wire. When I was prepping the cubby socket I only had 3/4 of an inch to work with and when I went to strip it for soldering I accidentally pulled all of the outside coating off leaving the bare wire leading into the socket.

Soldered everything up, wrapped it in electrical tape and the LED works but will flicker out with movement where the wire enters the socket. Because the coating was pulled off am I grounding out which is making the light go out?

Any additional info or fixes/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
