Yeah, I hate to say it, but that's probably the better choice. It sounds like you haven't really done any soldering for yourself and those little connections are a bitch to get right. One twitch at the wrong moment and you can easily fry your board.
Soldering small components like that takes a steady hand and lots (and lots and lots and lots) of practice.
