I've almost completed my build and it seems as though I have a fair amount of resistors/diodes/one capacitor left over. I've scoured my instructions several times and have not seen the instruction where these missing resistors are meant to be soldered on but in pictures and videos of other builds I see these spots filled.
The ones in question are:
R57
D8
R55
R54
R53
R56
R51
R50
.... there are a bunch more but hopefully this will be enough info to point me in a direction of "solder them on anyways" or "don't worry about em"

Sorry, I don't understand your question.
Why do you think these components should not be soldered?
Or maybe you are not looking at the correct documentation? (DOCS-24)

I’m looking at the documentation you linked and for instance there is nowhere that says to place R57 onto the board. Same goes for the other ones I listed. I’ve gathered from your response that these need to go on but I’ve looked at my instructions a dozen times now and still can’t find which step it was that I was supposed to install those missing resistors. I’m willing to entertain the possibility that I am just the dumbest person to ever try and put these together but I was following the instructions as closely as possible and never saw those components I listed as ones for the next installation step.

Also that was meant to sound more self deprecating than snarky haha.

The assembly guide says:
Add R1, R2, R17, R18, R21, R24, R26, R27, R29 to R37, R39 to R58.
Add D3, D4, D6 to D9.
This does include the parts you mentioned!

Well this is why I always leave room for me being an idiot being the reason. You are totally correct. I got it all worked out today and everything is working great now!
