I tired to put this together without gpio headers just solder through hole each side but my pi zero won't turn on maybe I got it backwards ? Also my bw screen won't turn on anymore after I did this but I fresh installed the img again and connected hdmi and power directly to the pi and it booted but not through the board I bought from pocketadventures the battery and charger work and the breakout board works green light but not on the pi itself. Heres what I did if I was to flip over the board and attach the pi with sd card facing left is that the right way? Maybe someone would know. Thanks for looking at this long rant.

the back of the pi should sit flush against the board, so the sd card pokes out the one side.

did you also solder the holes for the power, tv, and usb (those are not on the gpio)?

check out wermy's mintypi v3 tutorial - he covers desoldering the pi from a similar board.
