 An SMD hotplate makes this easier but if you don't have one, I recommend using a third hand and using a pair of tweezers or fine pliers to hold the pin on one side and applying heat from the other.
+Once they are in the correct-ish position, you can fasten down a NinoTNC board to the back, then reflow the pins from the display side. They will "click" into the exact correct position if they are close enough, otherwise adjust with fine tweezers while heating.
 When assembled, the BLE board sits with the OARC logo facing up, pogo pins on the underside with the NinoTNC sitting "upside down" to make contact.
