Diode solder pad
Totally fixable. You’re in the right place 👍 Mind starting a thread and adding a picture?

Great pic! You’re in good shape. Here’s what I recommend: wait until you solder your switch (or socket, if hotswap) in, and then jump as shown in red with a snipped diode leg.
Once that connection is made, the switch will work 👍

What’s your soldering setup look like? Something isn’t right. Your joints look cold, and you shouldn’t be losing so many pads.

Awesome. You read my mind. If you’re having issues with the solder leaded is the way to go. I would recommend cleaning all of the joints in that area with rubbing alcohol or acetone, and then adding leaded solder to each joint carefully, just to be sure.
