Can I use a polar cap for the 330nF cap for C2 on the MB-6582

I accidentally ordered a polarized capacitor for the power supply section of the MB-6582 that goes in C2. If I place it the correct direction will I still be able to use it here or do I need to get a non-polarized version?

It is, in fact, tantalum. Would the marked hole in the attached image be positive (the upper or right of C2)?

Edit: I have to place an order for some parts anyway, a ceramic and non-polar cap is 30 cents, might just do that... its rated to 50V as well instead of the TAP334K035SCS' 35V. I'm not sure why I bought such an expensive cap.

The polarised components should have the same orientation, i.e. follow the lower blue trace of C1. The positive leg of C2 is on the bottom, not the top as you have indicated.
