Ed, get a second piece of plexiglass cut.  This one to have large holes 
to clear the solder pads, but comes in to the thickness of the 
components.  The idea is to drop the components into a hole that will 
force them into alignment.  All the better if it's made of a material 
that can stand the heat of the oven.
