Yes, if metal is touching metal (even if it's not the recommended way) then indeed electrons will flow. So if you wanted to do it extra-ghetto style, you could just cut the stock FET out and sit the upgraded FET on top and use glue on the legs or even just wrap electrical tape around the whole PCB

second i wasnt going to keep the legs in, it would have been awkward to solder.now my main question was if i could put the FET OVER the solder and how solder acts as a conductor or if i put the FET over the solder than melt the solder so it would engulf the legs.

Same situation as from #1. Yes, you could do it and it would probably work. But the cleanest and most efficient way would be to just remove all remnants of stock pieces before upgrading.

third good explanation of why not to keep the legs all it said was to clean it up using a soldering iron and that was it

He didn't bother to go into further detail because just saying to clean it up is enough info...Unless of course you're looking to do it "ghetto-style" like I was saying before, then he definitely should've gone more into glueing the legs or using duct/electrical tape and such.
