Pick up one of the resistors using the tweezers, & place the ends of the resistor centrally over the
two pads. Notice how much clearance you have around the outside of the resistor on the pads.
When you solder the resistor in place, you'll want to get similar clearance.
Using the tweezers, place the resistor back in the bowl.
Place the tip of your soldering iron on one of the PCB pads for R1, & immediately apply a small
amount of solder to the pad. Remove the iron tip. You should have a small rounded blob of solder
on the pad.
If you think you've applied too much solder to the pad, you can remove this with solder wick. Place
the wick on top of the blob of solder, apply the tip of the soldering iron briefly. The wick will soak
up the solder. The wick will probably remove almost all the solder so you'll need to re-apply a small
amount.
