Soldering seems a bit extreme, although might be a permanent filler. Remove the lens first. But why not fill the gap with a dark epoxy, like JB Weld, or even a piece of electrical tape?
You can't solder that to begin with, at least not in the regular way. You might be able to silver solder it depending on the material of the lens board. Welding would be a more sensible alternative, although I'd still consider it needlessly drastic. A little tape or what have you is all it takes, really. Maybe fill the gap with some epoxy with a little carbon black mixed in with it.
The JB Weld will work. With the lens off, smear the epoxy in the hole and then when almost set clean off any extra epoxy on the each side with a knife. You want hole to be smooth and flat on both sides of course.Soldering seems a bit extreme, although might be a permanent filler. Remove the lens first.

I would then paint the repaired area with flat black paint. A small bottle of which can be purchased from the art department of big box stores such as Walmart or Hobby Lobby.
PS: the idea of the black yarn may well work and be easier.
Just get a new board they aren’t hard to find. $15-20 on eBay. I bought one from @AnselMortensen last year.
Thank you. I will see what I can find.Might be that the board had a notch to accommodate a different shutter. Anything opaque (silly putty) would work to test the theory.
Body filler, something like JB weld, I would keep in mind that epoxy putty is semi-permanent (not sure that's a thing?) You could try to position a drop of solder, I just wouldn't expect it to stick.
I would go with anything opaque that gets you going.h
I use copper tape, which is light tight from outside. I also add black electric tape so it will not reflect light inside.
If the hole doesn't go all the way through, it is not a problem.
