Wire was BURNED up for an 800 AMP Circuit Breaker! Had to Crimp Wire and put new breaker, thoughts?

What happens here

After all the 500 KCMIL parallel aluminum conductors are securely connected to the 800 AMP circuit breaker and all connections are double-checked, install the deadfront panel cover. This cover is a critical safety component as it prevents accidental contact with live electrical parts. Use a drill/driver to fasten the cover securely with screws, ensuring all openings are properly covered.

Goal: Safely enclose the electrical components
