That is how it should look like:

And looks like you correct the wire is loose...not good.
You can try to resolder or attach this loose wire to black (negative) battery lead connector.

how exactly would I connect it to the black battery lead connector? It's not really long enough

Black wire sticking out of the ESC is right there you do not need to go all the way to the battery, sorry if I wasn't clear.

took the shrink wrap off and this is what mine looks like. Notice how the green is missing from the circuit board where the red wire is supposed to be soldered on? Where am I supposed to solder the wire...onto that little round metal part the arrow is going to in the picture?

Why you do that?, but you have done that...
It would be hard and as you noticed it doesn't stay there, so no.
Try to solder to black power wire which is on opposite side of ESC, but do not try solder to pcb unless you confident with your soldering skills. I would recommend to strip wire and solder far from ESC and heatshrink or tape it.

took the shrink wrap off because I thought I was going to have to solder it back on...already wishing I didn't take it off

So should I solder it to where the black wire is soldered to the esc?

I don't think it's so much of you not being clear as me not really knowing what I'm doing.
Sorry for all the pictures...but again I don't really have a clue what I'm doing so I want to make sure I do it right.

So I can take that lose red wire and solder it to the black battery lead that is coming out of the esc...like the arrow is showing in the picture?

Yes, this is correct.
