I do not think that moving that specific cap will do anything, but I would keep the connection as the shortest possible, and to the GND as close as possible to the GND point where the rest of the elements of the oscillator connect. The tuning caps' braid might just be such a point.
David's got a point: when something was connecyted or placed in a certain way, there might've been a reason for it, so it is always best to keep things as original as possible. If you want to optimize physical location, as Davi said - make the radio work well in the original configuration, and then introduce changes one by one, checking the performance after each one completed.
