I know there are no dumb questions only dumb answers. But this has me a bit confused so it could be a dumb(ish) question.
With the OLED having the 4 connections there are two possible places for it to go. One is at the top where the GPIO is and the other is on the right which also has a SDA, GND ETC.
So where does the OLED go to?
This is a brain fart time for me so asking out for some help.

Thanks. Top row after the 6 pins soldered to the hat.
The hat came with pre soldered adaption so the only soldering needed was for the SMA. So no chance of them touching. The first one I had got damaged by the solder iron as the pins housing melted. May have to sort with a desolder. Live and learn.
Also something else on the hat. It is not clear on the picture but there is a space at the bottom with what looks like solder tags and a set of parallel lines. I wonder what that is for. Nothing underneath as it seems to be surface mounted. Maybe for the OLED or something. Will look it up and see what it's for if I can find anything about that part of the hat.
Again, thanks for your replies.

Make SURE the pins on the OLED do not touch the RPi's GPIO underneath. That is one of the dumbest PCB design decisions I've ever seen.
This the exact problem I have with a Chinese MMDVM board with OLED. Presumably I can simply snip off the protruding pins to clear those on the Pi Zero below?

Yes, you only need connection to the HAT and nothing else!
