Yes the 2 parts to the right of the upper mosfet are capacitors, that's why it is easier to apply the heat from the left side pins, and lift carefully with tweezers from the left side, the solder on the pad should flow quickly and you can take the part off without blowing the capicitors off. The air should not be applied for long, I could not find anything in the datasheet though about the temperature and time you can apply the heat for. for the AME8805 it can be 300 degrees celsius for 10 seconds.

Thanks for your suggestions, will keep them in mind.

Looks like the STM32 is shorted, so have to wait for a replacement, and then hopefully I can get the firmware on there
