Like someone else said; since I'm not looking at it... If you havn't held a solder iron in your hands before, then buy a new one. Otherwize:

You mean that some of the board (copper lead) was knocked off with them?

In that case I'd use a scalpel (or equivalent) to remove the plastic foil covering the lead on the board and take it from there (cut along lead, never across). You may or may not be able to replace the lead and wire it directly to the closest component. If it's digital you will probably mess up timings. If you're unlucky you can mess up timings by doing clumbsy soldering aswell.

If you really meant that the resistors where in pieces, then just replace them. If you are uncertain of what's what then take them with you to a place that sells components and ask for replacements.

In any case, don't use ordinary glue, it's futile. And conductive glue is probably too expensive anyway.
*Zap! Zap!* Ha! Take that! *Kabooom!* Hey, that\'s not fair!
