That's normal. I have no idea why PG didn't use all gold screws. :roll:
I was wondering this myself.

What size are they?

MS/MPS caps have these specs.

16 or 18mm x 35.5 and < heigh
16v, 105c, 2200uf - 8200uf
Radial

Some say the 35.5 height will not fit so you may want to step down to 35 or below.
