I had planned to use a right angle socket connect to plug the Reyax LoRa module into. However, when I physically prototyped this tonight I found it was going to take up too much room and push the length up to near 2". I really want to keep this board small. My brother Andy (Core64 guy) suggested removing the through holes and using SMD pads and just solder the existing right angle pins on the module to the back of the board. Yep, this is the way. I learned how to turn my footprint in KiCad into SMD pads. This added a benefit of less through holes polluting the front of the board. Happy accident.

With the planned right angle socket... too big!

Cleaner front now in the rendering. Note: Mic label/hole is just for aesthetics, no microphone. 

The back is getting crowded!!!! Red LED and Resistor to shine through hole in board indicating power. This will allow this SAO to be just a fun non-functional board as well.

Even this blind dog finds bones... The standoff created by the 90 degree pins on the Lora module keep the antenna off the board just enough. I'd like to show off the antenna but I think it needs the protection of the board.

Printed out the board outline with traces to make sure things are lining up well. This will work!

I'll trim the inner 3 pins but leave the outer 2 pins long and "clamp" them when installing the SAO connector. Another brother Andy suggestion. The middle pads are 6mm long and the outer are 7mm. I am hoping this is plenty of surface area to keep it anchored and durable.
