Ok.
But the non-polarized ones seems quite big
Should I just solder them with wires and place them somewhere, so they fit?

I think you have to do as I'm going to do: Solder some wires (not kynar wires, they're too thin I think) to them, and to the solder pads... Place them somewhere they fit, but don't make the wire too long!
Maybe you can bend the cap's pins so they point to the solder pad, and solder them.. Be gentle with it lateron, such a solder method is very fragile! Wires are much better.
