I've attempted to solder one of the boards and had an issue with the bluetooth RN52.

1. Im guessing that the pads on the bottom are just surface connection meaning that they don't get soldered and make a connection solely by the surfaces touching together. True?

2. Is the drag soldering method the most efficient method to solder this piece (RN52). The leads on it are different than any other piece, such as the headphone jack.

Also, in the mouser part list there wasn't a 6 position header, is this no longer needed for programming?
