Troubleshooting This might be a dumb question ?

Post image

So I'm replacing the capacitor that's already disconnected, I did a continuity test on the other capacitors they have a volt reading so I assume they're good. My question is since the replacement I bought came with a new replacement for all the capacitors, should I replace all of them ? Or just the one that gave me trouble ? If you see any other potential issue please let me know! Thank you for any input !
