I’ve had luck using kapton around plastic parts. The fresh solder really helps melt the components quicker. I also use a nozzle to help concentrate the heat in the area and prevent it from blowing directly on plastic parts. Depending on the board, you can go no nozzle and heat from below (which is how I replaced a PS5 ribbon connector).
