You can do this by scraping some of the lacquer off the track you can see coming from the + and - holes and solder a thin solid wire to the copper track and solder it to the cap.
I would put a very small amount of super glue on the bridge and let it dry thoroughly, so that if you move the cap with the bridge attached, it will not (hopefully) rip the track up you have soldered to.
