Soldering advice for button shim, scroll phat hd, and using phat diffusor

1. Is there any special advice on soldering a button shim and scroll phat hd onto the pins of a female GPIO extension header? Please note that I don’t solder them to the Pi’s header, but to a female extension header. I suspect that these shim and and phat need to be soldered separately, but not in one go, correct? Anything to watch for when soldering the shim, so that I can later easily solder the phat on top?

   Or would the stock female GPIO header with 3mm pins suffice?

2. Any special suggestions on how to shorten the extension headers so that I can still mount the diffusor phat on top? The diffusor unfortunately covers the pin area, but that’s understandable.
