The USB socket - it's fitted so the edge of the PCB sits between the 2 rows of pins, allowing them to be soldered to each side of the board. The 3-pin row is on the top side:

Solder the pins on both sides of the board and bridge the socket case to the board as shown - be careful the solder doesn't end up in the socket though.

Bridge these pads with solder or component wire offcuts:

Now the last component from bag1 for now - the 2200u electrlytic capacitor. It's polarised so make sure the white band faces right:

The coil driver transistor T7. Solder the tab and the 2 outer legs, the centre leg isn't used as the connection is made via the soldered tab. You did solder it?.
