Fix it according to the diagram below :)
And also try fix up some of your solder joints, they look a bit dodgy. :)
Specifically the ones in the bottom right corner of your board picture. Make sure the solder flows from the pins onto the board.
Look ArduPilotMegaShield_F_v141_board.pdf scheme and you will see that it is a SMD capacitor of 2.2uf. Should not be hard to find.
