The plate circuit and any B+ de-coupling will add stray capacitance to the primary side. Similarly on the secondary side the grid circuit will add stray capacitance. The Aluminum shield will as well. I suggest have several values of resonating capacitors both up/down around the calculated goal to adjust for these strays.
