These caps are not polarised so it doesn't matter which way around they are fitted.

I am not too sure why you have an A, B and a C. I suspect B and C are connected together. Have you removed the bolt that ties the tag strip to chassis?

The new capacitors are connected in parallel. One end is connected to the chassis. The other end is connected to the junction of L27 and the rectifier filament. If you bought replacement 100K resistors, I strongly recommend you wire them in series across the new capacitors as this will help discharge them when the power is off as the new capacitors will hold a charge for a very long time.
