You need to heat whole board from the bottom. Look for BGA soldering videos with preheaters to get the idea. It does two things - heats the whole pcb and prevent bending of the PCB during soldering/desoldering. Desoldering is the worst part, because non-lead solder has melting point around 230C. Then you have to remove the old tin and use the lead solder, which has melting point around 190C - it's much easier to solder.

You have to heat the board and the area around the capacitor, otherwise it won't be even possible to unsolder it on such PCB, which has tons of copper. It simply spread the heat too fast. I did such replacement once and went good, exactly this capacitor around RAM area.

You need to heat the whole board to about 100-120 Celsius degree from the bottom. Second thing is, that you have to cover RAM slots at least using an aluminium foil or capton tape. Heating from the bottom is necessary, it also reduces thermal expansion of the PCB during the resoldering. You can use an electric grill with thermal control
