I am trying to solder a SMD FET to my PCB, this is a different fet than the PCB was originally designed for (Drain and Source switched places). When i solder it up like this the R1 on my PCB ignites. Is there a reason you cant solder SMD FETs like this?
I also tried to solder the through hole version of the original FET to the board and the same thing happened...
I didn't think it had anything to do with the layout, i figured it had more to do with the way I soldered the SMD FET. The source, gate, and drain are all in the correct positions. Attached is the schematic.

And here's the fet layout, I am attempting to connect the "new" fet in the "old" fet pad layout.
