Mundorf MLytic AG+ 4-Pole cap users : beware of wiring, some of us got it wrong !

Yes, in this case the minuses also separate... and what a sound!!

Need some help please. I just can't seem to wrap my brain around how to use 4 pole capacitors in a circuit that is currently using 2 pole capacitors. I have read everything I can find including threads about cutting PCB traces but I still can't grok it.

I have attached the main PS schematic for my Philips CD880. The capacitors I would be replacing are the two 6800uF 35v caps (lower 1/3 of schematic when rotated to landscape view). The closest match I can find are Mundorf MLytic AG+ 6800uF 80v, the voltage rating of which might be problematic in of itself but that is not the first thing I need to sort. I need to figure out where to cut the traces and make the new connections. Can someone help please? The two 6800uF capacitors are shown as 2541 and 2536 on the PCB layout pic.
