[Elecraft] KPA100 Component Installation Gaff? Acceptable Correction?

[VCLAY at san.rr.com]

Not fully reading the directions before installing the component, I 
immediately clipped off (at the respective holes where the two 
component leads were inserted) the leads after installing current 
sensing resistor R7 into the closest of the 3 holes on the two solder 
pads.  Would it be sufficient to solder short pieces of the clipped off 
R7 leads to the two pads, from the innermost holes on the pads (where 
the R7 leads have been soldered and flush-cut), or do I need to remove 
R7 and properly install a new, replacement resister?  Since, even 
thought there's plenty of electrical continuity, there's a physical 
discontinuity between the resister leads and the small clipped pieces 
of lead I've installed, I'm wondering if this is going to cause an 
electrical performance (or cooling) problem down the road, that can 
only be avoided by taking out the improperly installed component and 
installing a replacement component correctly.

Thanks,
