You have 5-8 backwards.

With the notch at the top and looking at the marked side:

1- -8
2---7
3---6
4---5

That diagram should work, careful of point 6, I’ve taken off a few microcaps by mistake. The tip of my iron is abut 3 times bigger than one of those little yellow capacitors. You get the solder on the tip of the wire first, touch it to the side of the capacitor and touch an edge of the iron to the wire for just a second and it should bond. You might want to practice on a junk PC board or something with microcaps.
