Emmm.... you sure that's right? In my case, the smaller one is the one ID'ed as C1A, which is in the antenna circuit.
The larger one (more plates) is C2A, which is in parallel with the oscillator.
The alignment instructions also contradict you; they say to adjust C2A first (bigger) and C1A last (smaller) (then again, they also say to adjust L2, for which there is no evidence of adjustments ever having been possible).

Holy mackerel, it just dawned on me that you rewound an oscillator coil, and made a pretty one per the picture at that. Ain't a whole lot of newbies to tube radios that have done (or would even try) that! That's the fun of this stuff to me: making something out of nothing!

Awesome feeling, isn't it? Excuse me while I laugh maniacally while I power up the set, the lights dim, and lightning flashes in the background.... "IT'S ALLLLIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEE!"
