I usually do that also. sometimes ring lugs make sense, especially if soldering isn't second nature yet. You might be able to turn connector on the bottom, upside down, leave the top one right side up. another possibility, if you have the slack left in the wires, but both into 1, cut back and restrip, then insert into one ring lug, (blue insulator plastic) Electrically it is the same or better.
