For simple 2 land devices like Rs and Cs , apply the tweezers across the long axis or short axis? Flat/flat and so good metal/metal contacts generally if shortwise application but full-on solder contact lengthwise although spherical/flat contacts until initial solder melt. Assuming the tweezer ends are centrally relieved for the shortwise situation to avoid contacting the "active" section of the SMD
