All he means by hard wiring is to look at the traces where the parts are soldered, and add a piece of wire from the part leg itself to some nearby point beyond any trace damage. The negative legs of those caps solder to a common ground trace. Scrape away the solder mask of you need to and run a piece of solid wire from the leg of hte cap to someplace a centimeter or two away on the same trace. We just want to bridge any possible gap in the tracework.

If someone still needs the original filter caps Tube amp doctor TAD sells them. Snap in blue caps. Just changed them a few weeks ago. Cost about 8 euro each
