Even if he could give pieces of his soul to others through contact, it is never said in the series if the ones those individuals touch or fight become connected as well. Also, I never said he put his soul into solid objects. In the first scan you posted, when Haschwalth said Yhwach scattered pieces of his soul throughout Seireitei during the previous battle, it did not show any Quincy. It showed an image of the Seireitei. He scattered these pieces throughout the atmosphere. Nanao made an indirect reference to this when she and Shunsui are confronted by Haschwalth. She said she developed her new Kido by analyzing the spiritual energy the Quincy left behind during the previous battle. So, Yhwach scattered his soul in this manner.
