It'll be a problem if you want to use any of the boost modules that are built on the larger mini-PCB's, which unfortunately is 8 of the 11 available modules. These modules won't be able to be plugged into the sockets on the main board because of interference from the standing electrolytics.

The three smaller modules will still fit: the LPB Boost, MOSFET Boost, and Electra.

I would just try to get replacement caps from a local electronics shop, or order them online. Standard aluminum electrolytic caps in 25V or 50V service ratings should fit those spaces.

Take four small sections of component lead and make a tiny loop at one of the ends of each lead. You’ll want to insert the remaining leads of the caps thru the loops and solder them together. Once you’ve done that insert the soldered on pigtails in their respective holes and solder. Done.

Mmm I suppose an axial version is not an option in this case (they only have axial versions) or could that still work. They do have 10uf 350v. Does 25v or 350 matter? If not ill try stephens work around...

A 350V cap will very likely be physically too large. It may fit on the PCB but the cap’s diameter will get in the way of any module you try to insert.
