I thought about switching them around. I did put several red film caps in series and parallel to make .005 but that didn't do anything to help. I have the one white tubular on one side and 2 ceramic 2kv caps on the other side and are equal to the NF of the other but if the capacitance changes with hv then I guess it won't work.
