You can only appreciate the work you do once you did it yourself, everything is so tiny and I'm always afraid to break something. Thumps up, keep up the good work and guides !
Theoretically, it is easy to solder such tiny smd parts. Just don't keep your solder iron too long on one spot. Doing this increases your risk to damage these parts. I solder permanently with 350 degrees and never had any problems with it.

Why do you put the soldering iron to 300c instead of 400c? I thought low heat high time kills the board and creates bad joints.
Because you can cut off the Capacitor easily with 400c and destroy the flex cable, when you don’t watch out.
It won’t kill the board or create bad joints. It just takes a little more patience and is easier on components. A hot solder iron can lift pads and break capacitors. High heat is easier to work with but you have to know what you’re doing and work quick
