Place the two electrolytic capacitors C2 and C3 and the diode D1 in. Make sure you line up the white stripe on the diode with the white stripe in the picture on the circuit board. There are also white stripes on the capacitors, make sure they line up like in the picture to the left.

When you put the parts in, bend the wire leads out a little so the parts stay up against the board when you turn it upside down to solder.
