c102Regarding the C102 / C1021 / C1020 / C1022 area of the circuit board, can someone explain what is needed or intended here?

I *think* the following

If someone used this elecrolytic in C102 -
C102 555-RFS35V100ME3#5 RFS-35V100ME3#5 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors - Leaded 10uF 35V 20% Audio SILMIC II
- then C1022 is intended for a bypass cap of this:
C1020 Bypass 871-B32523Q1225K B32523Q1225K000 22.5mm LS Film Capacitors 2.2uF 100volts 10%

If someone used this filter cap in C1020 -
C1020 (alternate) 75-MKP1848610914P2 MKP1848610914P2 Film Capacitors 10uF 1100volt 5% 2pin 37.5mm LS
- then nothing would go any where else.

Am I correct so far? If not, what do I have wrong?

What I can't understand is why the following is listed on the BOM for C1022, as there is nothing that takes 15mm lead spacing in this area of the circuit board:
C1022 871-B32672P6105K B32672P6105K Film Capacitors 1.0uF 10% 630Vdc MKP PFC, LS 15MM

Thanks in advance for helping me clear this up.

Aljordan,
Those caps are all various options for one, the various holes are to allow you to use just about any size input coupling cap. The little electrolytic cap probably would be used all by itself. Or perhaps. Smaller C1022 as bypass.

If you want my opinion, just put a 4.7uF MKP there and you are good to go. A 10uF Silmic II is actually superb sounding. If you use a 10uF cap, you won’t have any questions about whether or not you are getting deep bass extension.

Hi All, Im having an issue fitting C1021 on the board. It's the 250v 10uf 37.5mm from the BOM, but see attached. I'm not sure how to fit this.

I could move c102 to the bottom of the board, but I think C1022 would still be in the way.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!
