I can't tell exactly what needs to be done from the photos, but you
can hand solder down to a very fine pitch with a fine tip iron, very
thin solder, and a flux pen.  The flux applied with the pen is key --
it coerces the solder onto the pads and helps avoid big solder blobs
and bridging.

Good luck!
