Solder the wire to the pad on the bottom side, then clip off excess wire.
Can You solder a jumper to a circuit board?
You can solder to a bare jumper on the circuit board. A jumper is a stiff, sometimes bare wire that bridges across some traces on the top or bottom of the board. Slip the copper wire under the jumper and bend the wire over the jumper so the connection iss snug. Solder the wire to the jumper using a moderate amount of solder.
