update:
got the resistors. they were way way bigger hahah so i got creative with the resistor connects and really had to have steady hands. i used a few quick taps of my 15v iron and its on.it snapped off a few times but i think its semi sturdy now: here is a picture if anyone is interested. is it possible to put on backwards? i didnt think so so i just put it on, i also checked for continuity from the bottom side of the board and everything is a-ok [so far... i havnt actually put it together yet]
i was also having continuity problems befrore but i am noticing that some of the point is was trying to connect to still has a wee bit of green film covering them. once it was scratched off it was good to go.

hows it look? i put it on at an angle because straight up wouldve made it too high
