What Dust is wisely advising is that you do not take the china-messiah advice about using the v4 alternative soldering points. These vias are NOT solder points; they are connectors between and into layers of the motherboard. If you overheat one of those the board is totally ruined.

So solder to the controller legs and use a razor blade to stop the adjacent leg from being splatted or bridged.
