It’s a pretty tight fit with the capacitors on top of the power transformers. I don’t currently have space for them to lie flat without the tops touching. I’m assuming it’s a bad thing if the cap at 22 & 23 comes in contact with the cap at 34 & 35, right? Should I reposition?

Just move them in closer to the terminal strip.  You definitely don't want the metal tops to touch.
