input cap location

I recently bought a 45 set amp which has caps installed directly to the backside of the rca inputs. I am looking to replace the caps with something nicer and was just wondering if the placement of the caps matters or not. It would be much easier to fit them somewhere between the inputs and pots. Does placement along the input wiring matter as long as it stays before the pots?
