The short answer is yes. You should remove it from the barrel and solder it, just easier that way.
Good luck!!!!

It is a Hewlett Packard PC, very generic, no wifi or any other stuff.
Can you get pictures taken with your flip phone saved to your HP PC?
Done the same bunch of times on triggers and sights, file a flat edge on the sight, stick on another piece with plumbers solders paste.
I have filed a front sight too far and added a piece and started over sighting in, I had a picture of me adding the piece but I can't retrieve it. I do have a picture of an add on a trigger to make it hit the sear on a rifle that has a 3/8" web between the ramrod hole and the barrel. If I inletted the trigger any deeper I would break into the ramrod hole. I filed this add on down a good bit before I used it in the rifle.
Here is the solder past to use, easy and fool proof, I have never had any piece I soldered on with this in the past come off.

I woke up today with a better attitude about this pissant job. I looked around and realized That I have thousands of brass shell cases. I cut a .223 case off behind the neck and flattened it most of the way and fitted it over the sight somewhat snugly, then cut the rest of the case off. Total length of the cut front sight piece is probably about a half inch in length. Judicious filing and flattening. slips over the present front sight snug with enough room for heating it all up and run solder down into the new piece and hopefully tie them together. Take to range and start more judicious filing for proper elevation. I'll let you know good or bad how it all works.
