Close Quarters for Box Caps

[joelorigo]

I have a project that needs 2 capacitors side by side and then a socket for an IC chip beside them. I have box caps and the one in between the already soldered socket and the already soldered other cap won't fit. Can I use cut off leads form other caps to solder to the remaining cap's leads, and extend the height so it will fit?

What about putting it on thee other side of the board?

Oh yeah, I could do that. Thanks!

I always forget this is an option

It's my first time dealing with this so I didn't even think it was an option. But, yeah, it's obvious now
