You need to solder the capacitor between the round pad (negative) and one square pad (positive).

There are 2 square pads and 1 round pad for this capacitor.
This is to mount capacitors of different size, lead space 2.54mm or 5.08mm.

The positive is the first and the second square hole.
The negative is only the circle hole.
