Step 5USB and IC.
Next, the USB jack should go on. I actually clips in so you don't have to worry about it falling off. Stick it on and solder. User LasVegas suggests even soldering the clips down:
"To stabilize the USB-B connector, I would recommend that the "clips" be soldered into place as well. I've too often seen connectors, without the shield soldered down, work their way loose and cause bad connections."
After that, follow with the IC socket, which needs to line up with the U on the PCB. See the picture for detail, and this same rule applies to the IC itself, which also has a little U drawn on it.
