The pin spacing on J2 looks like it would need a pretty steady hand to me. Though it appears only 3 of the pins matter.

I have access to a SMD oven (just a toaster oven with a fancy controller.) Manually applied solder paste, placed the parts and they flowed just fine. Same process with a hot air gun should work but will be a little more finicky.

I'll have to try that out. I suspect I'd still have trouble like accidentally shaking the components off center while putting them in the oven.
