I did it beacuse i want to so no blame on zig now i tryed to bring it back to stok but i lost  a pice from the board i guess it is a capacitor 20nf is that correct marked in the Blue circle

And Second Question can i mesure a capacitor with a multimeter ? to find te missing one onanotherplatine

All the docs that I've looked at on Github show 20nf



Reference Designator: C35
Package Symbol: C0402
Component Class: IC
Device Type: C0603_C0402_20NF
Value: 20nF

Some multimeters have "CAP" on the selector switch.  Not all do though.

I hope you can fix it.  It all looks so big in the photos but really most of it so incredibly tiny.  At a minimum for me is to inspect with a good magnifying glass just to see it and even then it can be hard to see if something is bridged or not.  For me ZiG's rmod is "easier" but all the mods are really difficult including ZiG's rmod if you do not have experience.  There have been a few posts about accidentally removing component near what you are working on.
