What you will need for this step

For one half:

Install the switch sockets

These components are placed on the bottom of the PCB.

The sockets are the largest and easiest to solder. They are installed on the bottom of the PCB facing up towards the front of the PCB. Make sure they are flush with the PCB.

Heat the metal connector and pad, apply solder and look for the solder to wick down to the PCB. You want a solid joint since this may take some mechanical strain from switch installation.

The sockets are not symmetrical left-to-right. However the orientation does not matter. In the picture above, notice the sharper corner on the lower left. It is perfectly fine if the socket was rotated so the sharper corner was on the upper right.
