I would like to solder an RFM69HCW to a Moteino R4 I have attached an image with what I think is the proper setup. I would appreciate it if someone could verify for me.

Thanks

~~Flip it 180 degrees.~~ The crystal side should be on the antenna pad/pin side.

Edit, WRONG see below.

Is the component I circled on the attached image the crystal?

Whoops my bad. Completely wrong answer above.
You cannot solder a HCW to a R4. You can only solder a CW in that position which you have the HCW right now.
Or a HW or W in the position near the antenna pin.

RFM69HCW is only supported starting with R5.
