It may be posible to solder tiny bits of wire to the traces that used to lead from the tabs and a wifi switch, you will need to glue the switch with epoxy or somthing stong since only 1 solder tab is left. Oh and just incase you didn't know you will have to scratch some of the green insulation off the traces you want to solder to (only through to the copper tho).

Theres no switch, so I just want it to be constantly switched on, which pins would I need to do this?

Things like this,

I cannot tell which sides to solder to, do I solder the 2 bottom pads or the 2 top pads?

Depending on what the remaining pad is you may not be able to do that at all
