Heat shrink or electrical tape are the easiest ways to insulate them. I think the heat shrink that came in the kit is too small to go over those terminals, but there was plenty of electrical tape supplied.

I also do agree with this to some extent. They can work loose over time, so if you stick with them, make absolutely sure they are as tight as you can get. If you decide to switch to the crimp ones that came in the kit, they have to be crimped right or they can fall off. We use
this crimper and haven't had a problem. We crimp in two places and don't worry about it. If you don't have a crimper that will work on that size terminal, I have heard of teams using a vise to crush them down. Whatever you do, do a pull test on them to make sure they are absolutely secure and won't fall apart during the match.
