Next time put tape on it before you cut it an leave more slak am keep your bolt on wand all so for just in case or if it snaps you have what you need to fix it again on the go
With that kit you bought for $2.99 you skipped a step. The u shaped piece goes on before you crimp anything. It makes a smooth transition and put less stress on the cable. I fixed lots of cables on tow trucks. Most cables would only last about 1/2 as long with out that u shaped piece.

Just put some shrink wrap on it. The loose ends
Just buy a cable cutter and swager or you'll end up with a big mess like you have.
