Actually, since you have components on both sides of the board, baking the whole thing to flow the solder again would have...undesirable...results.

You should be OK if you line up the memory module on the solder pads, and simply run an untinned soldering iron along them quickly to get the solder to flow for just an instant. You may wish to practice on an old stick of memory first. (See, there was a reason you kept all your old SIMMS and 16MB DIMMS

)
