A.How to relocate the analogue stick and hold it in place

Cut it out, use some bonding putty to reposition it, and hot glue the analogue stick's base to the pcb after bending the legs outwards so it sits flat.

B.How to fit a 3ds slider as a dpad

3ds slider?  Well, you can look up a pinout/trace schematic of the controller's pcb and solder wires to the D-pad's traces to add your own buttons to do the same functions.

C.How to wire it all up

With a soldering iron, solder, and some insulated wire (flux might make it easier also)

For anyone else that may come across this 6 more months from now..

The 3DS Slider is Analog and can not be wired directly to the D-pad connections. You'd need a PIC/AVR coded up to deal with that, and possibly more depending on the controller version being used.
