Looks OK to me.
I assume you want to use the modules later in a chassis, but you could just surface-solder a wire to the PCB. Just don’t get crazy with the heat and delaminate the copper foil from the glass epoxy board. I’d bet you could clean the solder off later with some solder wick and the modules would be fine. But I don’t see anything wrong with your approach. Let’s face it, while the grounding scolds tell you to use stuff like 10 AWG ground wires, the Cat5 wires are only 24 AWG. I think the heavy wire is more for the length than the current carrying capacity.

Would this work? I'm assuming it's not enough contact.
