Hi Rey
?
Looking at the circuit diagram R520 is a 49.9 ohm resistor, replacing this with a 5.1k would certainly affect the SWR readings.

You might get away with using a 47 or 51 ohm through hole resistor. If you have a batch of 47 and 51 ohm through hole resistors measure each one and see if you have one at the edge of its tolerance range.

Using the intended 49.9 ohm smd component would be ideal...even if you have to repair the PCB trace/pad with wire.
