Physical location of lytics usually is not critical. On cans that connect to chassis (and some that don't but run the can negative wire to convenient points) I often place the individual replacements at the point the wire to the can positive originates from even if that spot is on the far end of the chassis.

One thing to make sure of though if the can negative was insulated from the chassis and fed from one or more wires that are not directly connected to the chassis to keep that floating negative separate from the chassis...In my first year or two of restoring radios I messed up a Zenith Transoceanic replacing a floating negative lytic with individual parts that I tied the negatives of to chassis instead of the floating negative...Later I figured that mistake out and fixed it.
