Hot plate, flux pen, hot air gun.

Important caveat: The downside to this is you can't inspect it (without an x-ray machine), and if you screw up, you're going to need a new chip (Re-balling does not look approachable/time-efficient)

Thank makes sense, thank you! Is there a rule of thumb for how high you set the hot plate? I’d be worried about SMD components on the side in contact with the hotplate.
