It will be easiest to glue the capacitor onto the board before trying to solder it. Use a high-temp glue so that the glue doesn't get weakened when you solder right next to it. I used hot-melt glue, but silicone should work also. wait for the glue to dry before continuing.

make sure you orient the capacitor properly with respect to the + and - terminals so the connections will be easy.
