On a quest for reverse-mount NeoPixels!

We’ve got big NeoPixels, lil NeoPixels, side NeoPixels but what about reverse-mount? This is as close as we’ve been able to see, the ‘j lead’ legs are left unbent. Perhaps if you drill a large hole in the PCB, this LED can nestle in and connect to big pads on the sides? Seems like it ought to work, will try it soon – so far we’ve just verified the pinout and that they light up – video.
