Re: Review of a small motor controller schematic.

Austin,
In hand soldering this part, if you are using the test board layout for heatsink, you can try adding a small pool of solder to the PCB pad and keep it hot with the iron at the edge of the chip placement. Make sure that the bottom of the chip is clean, you might add a little flux and then set it down on the hot PCB in the right position. Hold the chip in place and remove the iron.
