Nothing that I know of.
Without experience you're doomed to failure unless you use 2 soldering
irons with sharp tips.
Both leads must be heated at same time so that cap can be flicked off when
both solder joints are seen to be melted.

If a pad lifts the only way that I know to fix it is to scrape down
adjacent traces to bare copper and install the cap with fine wire(s).
