You could repair the PCB. This requires cutting two traces and soldering one wire. The
pictures below show the steps. This is probably best done after the board is assembled.
Cut the two PCB traces at the
indicated places.
Now only the diagonal trace
connects to the PCB pad.
Use a short piece of wire to
connect the two pads that were
previously connected.
This is what the result should look
like.
