K2 crystal grounding

[Jurgen ON5MF]

Hi,

For the moment I'm enjoying the construction of K2 number 5549.

Could anyone send me a picture of the crystals X7-X11 that are correctly
grounded?

The manual says the grounding wires should be soldered to the sides of
the crystals but on all the pictures I found on the net they are
soldered on top.

There is an errata that says to put 2 grounds to each crystal.  One to
the top, one to the side (or maybe one on each side?  I believe the
change was part of the errata for the SSB module???
