2 littles pins from cutted resistors soldered with the "legs" of the encoders wich doesn't fit in the breadboard holes ...

Solder the pins, folded with the encoder pushed on the breadboard, on the bottom side:

Just an alternative suggestion, if you hold a pair of pliers perpendicular to the angle of the metal on the flat pin, and try to squish it flat the other way, they curl around and will usually slide right on in just like a normal pin...

Basically you fold it in half :)
