If your bridge pickup has a brass bassplate underneath then it is grounded by the pickup screws and you don't need that wire.

As far as the capacitor is concerned, it can go either way. See how they have a ground wire running from the back of the tone pot to the volume pot? That is doing what the capacitor legs would be ding if you ran it between the pots.

What I do is run the capacitor leg through the volume pot lug and then up on top of the volume pot. Then solder it at both points instead of bending back the lug.
