It makes little difference in most circuits which end is attached where. The capacitor exhibits a low impedance between its two leads, usually much lower than the common mode impedance of either point to which it is connected. Because of this, noise picked up on the outer foil (if there is an outer foil) will appear at virtually the same amplitude on both ends of the cap.
