Not all comparisons in all texts on the world are meant to imply questions. There's plenty LEDs, resistors and capacitors in 0201 and 01005 packages as well as with bottom pads if they need to be larger, like the diodes, to properly function. | |

Put lot of soldering on both pads, put the soldering iron on the pad and put the component. You need to put some pressure on the component so it stay still. Put pressure on the other side of the package and put the soldering iron on the other pad and it should be done. | |

The trick is: remove any solder on both pads, put some solder on a pad, solder the first pad while holding the part still, solder the second part and you are done. | |
