P4 Terminal Short on Main Relay

Hello. I bought a new main relay for my civic and car ran fine for about a month. then i start experiencing intermittant start issues again. I look at main relay box and see its always getting power (cause the little switches to the dual coils move when turning on ignition) but only intermittently fully priming/turning on. then as im fiddling with it the board shorts on the p4 terminal in the middle of the path (not on a contact site) ; but the copper path under the green layer shorted. The "new" main relay i purchased from napa had clearly 2nd soldering on top of the factory soldering. All 7 main contacts look to have been poorly resoldered. Or do i have a short in my st switch somewhere that could cause this problem?
Thank you in advance for any help or information you could give to lead me down the right path on this one.
