Attempt to connect the negative pin of the capacitor with an existing ground wire.

Notice that the ratnest line for the negative pin of the capacitor has not disappeared. This is even though we have done a connection between that pin and the existing GND wire. Why is that? Let’s do an ERC.

The ERC is telling us that the capacitor negative pad and GND are not actually connected, even though they look connected.

Even though the new wire seems to be properly connected to the negative pad of the capacitor and to the GND wire, it may actually not be properly connected. So, in situations like this, it helps to double check connections, and often to redo them in order to fix such annoying problems.
