SMD Pads are small and require less solder tin than for TH pads. The solder joint should be concave (not bulging) and shiny. In case you put too much solder, use a tin plated de-soldering braid/solder wick. If you want to solder components with more than two pads or legs, this technique also works very well, as long as you have access to the component pads. …

Is there any way to measure a SMD ceramic capacitor in-circuit?
So you should start with adding some extra solder on just that side, place the capacitor ontop (you can allign the sides that doesn''t have any leads by letting your tweezers hold onto both the one you''re about to solder and the one that''s on the board so you only have to worry about the 2 other sides), add copious amounts of flux, then while holding it in place with your tweezers heat …
