It's all good. Job is done, working now and buttoning the stove up. I had to use a wee bit of solder and it "took" when I touched the pen tip to the board and pin at the same time. It takes no time to melt if you have the right stuff.
Last year I posted a pic of my soldering kit and got a helpful tune up.

Had to drive quite a ways to buy the right stuff as home depot/lowe's/FLAPS don't have the right gear.
Thanks all very much.
Fingers crossed but I think we nailed it
