Shrapnel and Arche tantalum ?

I mistakenly put 220nf film caps in C4&C5 of the Shrapnel build( calls for 220nf tantalum), and put the 220nf tantalum in C1 of my Arche Boost build( calls for film cap).
The woes of doing several boards at once… I plan on pulling and replacing but just wanted to check if it would work if I didn’t pull and replace. Pretty sure with the tantalum’s being polarized it wouldn’t work.

So after looking at the muff build where almost all the caps I used were film I think this might work as is. Maybe I’ll finish them and try and swap out if it doesn’t work or if someone smarter than me says different.
 
Unfortunately, I never know the direction my Taint is going either…😂

But seriously, it seems the polarized caps in the Archie Boost circuit are negative ground so I would think you’d need the Tant flipped.
Thanks for checking out the taint position… I will let it ride as is and see how it sounds.
