These rectifiers stand up in the amp and use spring clips to keep them tight against the heatsink .
Pretty much all of the rectifiers have broken legs on them .
Would soldering need legs on them be a reliable repair since they stand up in the amp or will they break again and I should order new ones ?

Quite likely they will break again. Something's causing this, and will likely even cause new ones to break. Something could be loose allowing vibrations to concentrate stress in those legs. Try to figure that out before replacing..
If possible, order new ones.
You can solder wires on the legs but for those with spring clamps, it can be difficult to get the clamps on with the new flexible legs. I've done it in the past but generally for transistors with screw clamps.
As suggested, the problem is poor support for the board. You can add additional support. I used 3/8" x 3/4" ABS stock, generally, when I did it.
