That much I had had already figured out, by wiring the pinouts, I actually meant soldering the wires. The holes are waaay too close and I don't want to risk frying the sensor.

Oh. Yes, more specific would have saved both of us time.
Buy an
0.100 male header like this and solder that in. Use a 40 Watt or smaller soldering iron (not a gun!) and electronic solder with flux core.
If you go with wire, 20 Gauge should be more than plenty, tin the wires before inserting them into the holes.
There is a technique for soldering to a circuit board, practice on something cheap (Radio Shack can help there) first. Basically, you start counting seconds: Press the (clean & tinned) iron tip against the board at the pin (or wire), after 2 seconds, push in a little solder, count another 2 seconds, and pull everything away.
