Help adding sub panel

My house is from the early 80s. I've done some light work on the main panel in the past but now I'm looking to add a 100 amp sub panel. I ran 1/0 1/0 1/0 2 wire and the sub panel side is easy. I'm having trouble figuring out how to add the wires to the main panel side though. Both the ground bar and neutral bar are full with 2-3 wires in each hole all mixed up on both sides. I added an additional ground bar that I'll move some connections to. My questions are 1) is AWG 4 copper enough to connect the two ground bars together 2) what do I do on the neutral bar side? The lug that holds 2/0 needs three slots so I'll be cramming even more to make space for it. I can try to move the ground wires to the right side proper ground bar but that will add more wiring and pigtails to an already very crowded panel. I'm assuming adding a neutral bar is not acceptable even though this is a main panel and ground and neutral are all bonded together.
Note that I had an electrician do analysis and the main panel can support the sub panel.
Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for the helpful feedback. Most of the work such as transfer box was done before I bought the house. I did hire licensed electricians based on reviews (none were friends) and different ones installed the surge protector, an EV line (no longer visible, plan to pull it out of the sub), and provided quotes for other services such as close to 2k for sub panel. None mentioned any issue with the panel unfortunately. I wish one of them would have highlighted these are suspect breakers over 40 years old and you want to look into replacing them for instance. Yes load calculation was done (again by an electrician not me). The A/c and a jacuzzi we no longer use are off to the side and there are bedrooms with two breakers so I trusted the load calculations. Not a troll post.

Did I do this right?

Had to replace the cord on my dryer after moving, I followed a YouTube video but his didn't have any copper exposed, just want to make sure I didn't mess anything up before I plug it in?

Big problem with kitchen backsplash receptacles

I want to be clear, this is not my fault, the "electrician" that put the boxes in these locations is no longer finishing the project. I'm trying to find a way to trim out these boxes that is halfway up to code and looks good so the homeowner doesn't have to redo the backsplash.

Which is the ground wire please?

Hello,

This is the light switch in my laundry room. The switch does not stay in the "ON" position so I assume the spring is loose. The light does come on if you press on the switch, but the minute I release my finger, the light turns off. As such, I am going to replace the switch. However, the insulations on the wires are all black and there is no green wire. I suspect the wire with the red arrow in the photo is the ground wire. Would someone be so kind as to confirm or tell me which wire is the ground?

Edit: If the third wire is not a ground, please tell me how to connect all three to the new light switch? Pigtail the two bottom wires and connect it to the bottom screw in the new light switch? Or something else? I'm a novice. TIA.

Thank you very much

Installed Surge Protector, is this fine?

I installed a Square D QO250PSPD to my breaker just to add another layer of protection to my house. With the other slots plugged in, I just used the bottom right. Would this be okay?
