I reflowed the back first which just has the inductor, diode, and heatsink. The when I reflowed the next side I set it on the inductor and heatsink. The only thing that was exposed to gravity was the diode but it didn't fall off.
When I do boards with lots of parts on both sides I have a stand made from a paper clip that I mount them on. I bent it into a half circle with both ends sticking up. Both end have a kink so you just put the ends through two holes in the boards and they rest on the kinks. It holds them up in the air and I've never had parts fall off.
That's a nice deal on the lm3410s Anthony. A lot cheaper than digikey.
