is this hotglue I see you put on top the Solen cap?
If yes, when I pot film caps (they are plastic film and I do not know how they react to hot glue if applied straight on) I put a cut to size fitting piece of thin cardboard on top. This will stabilize things without directly heating the cap.
It's the same as when restuffing tubulars with film caps, when we put some wad material before potting the leads (depending on the space left I either roll a strip into a spiral and then put in if there is space, or cut a circle, poke a hole and slide it down the wire if there is little space left). This way even i some hot glue makes it down to teh cap, it is little and will cool fast without potentially harming the cap inside.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
