Donor board it is, thanks for the advice!

Donor board is a no go. The component false apart the moment you touch it... So if anyone finds a solution please let me know!

These glass IC's are very delicate. It doesn't look like it has any underfill so you should let it flow properly before applying any pressure with the tweezers. Apply flux, heat it up and gently push it when you see adjacent components and solder start to flow. Once the IC's moves and bounces back, it's sign that it is ready to be removed.
