Replacing ABXY buttons without replacing the whole boards?

I have the X button that seems to have some issues. While I can’t find a whole replacement board, I can find replacement buttons on aliexpress (https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/328231927...), but I don’t know how I’m supposed to replace them (It doesn’t looks like standard soldering).

Is there a guide somewhere on how to replace those kinds of button? (an image of the board can be found here: https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/Image/met...)

(ps: It actually concern a new 3DS XL, althought it seems to be the same kind of button)

The buttons are not soldered they are metal domes that are held onto the board under a clear tape.This is the best video i could find. it is for an original 3ds xl but the process should be the same.
