Newbie electrolytic capacitor question

Hello
I only started building pedals about two months ago. I made the classic mistake of not checking the size of the electrolytics and ended up with some that are way too big. They will fit if I leave A LOT their leads out and bend them over the other components. My question for you all is, other than space issues (they will fit in the enclosure and around the other components) will having the long leads and the capacitor can bent over other components possibly introduce noise into the circuit?
Thanks in advance.....

Longer leads always have the chance to introduce noise.

I'd replace them if you can, caps are cheap and it'll make the build way easier. Depending on what voltage the circuit runs at, 25-30v should be perfect. Be careful, the higher the voltage the bigger your components will be.
