Eric, I don't think there will be any problem as long as the sockets you have do not interfere with the components around those ICs. The only piece which gets even close to those three ICs on the front panel would be battery compartment, but since ICs in sockets won't be any higher than the main controller in its socket it should not be causing any trouble.
