Non Low-ESR Capacitor on ESC

I am building a 5 inch with the SpeedyBee 60A ESC, and I accidentally snipped off one of the legs on the low ESR capacitor it came with.

I tried to find low ESR capacitors locally but I could only find a 50v one that's significantly larger, and I can't seem to find any place I could place it on as the frame is already quite cramped (Mario 5).

I did find some small 10x20 35v capacitors, but they aren't low ESR. How bad would it be to use them instead? Will they make any difference if they are not low ESR, or can only low ESR capacitors be used?

I am running an O4 Pro with an F405 on 6s.
