By tining quickly you wont apply too much heat to other surrounding parts, wait for it all to cool before final soldering. I think that repair will be fairly strong as its L shaped. Good luck! ps. If that metal is looking oxidized to you you might want to wipe the contact area with vinager or muratic acid and rinse using a Q-tip prior to soldering...
