At the top of the PCB you'll see three large holes in a row b/w the 1n film cap and the 4 electrolytics. Solder it directly to the PCB. You can kinda see it in my build pic in the doc, too.

...... You mean, between the three electrolytic caps and the 1nf cap?

No worries. It's easy to overlook. It is a rather busy little PCB.
