Am I missing parts? capacitors, potentiometer...

The instructions say I'm supposed to have 3 green or red .1uf film capacitors but the only thing I have 3 of are these little blue squares that say u1k63 and then 1b9 underneath. Am I just stupid or did I get the wrong parts? I'm guessing these are capacitors just the wrong ones maybe..? It also says I'm supposed to have a 100k (I think) trim pot which I definitely don't have. Should I just email BYOC and tell them?

The "u" serves as a decimal point, so u1 = .1uf.

The "k" indicates the tolerance.

The "63" is the voltage.

The 1b9 is the manufacturer's gibberish.

Ok last thing (hopefully so I don't have to create another thread) how do I tell if I have mono or stereo jacks?

Mono jacks will have two solder lugs and stereo three solder lugs.
