Although, I still say it's BS that the cap caused the smoke mark unless it's cracked or has a busted endcap.

Man...
We talking about caps or smoke? Heck I know where smoke came from, read post above, that the part which was broken...
I am sorry for you that you cannot see my point in comparison...but it is not the color which is counts (you can paintbrush with any) but size and shape which matters. If you that curious then check on web for surface mount components sizes and everything would be clear.
Lots of guys here have the same controller and this cap looks like located in easy to reach and snap picture place.
So bring better picture in studio and I will tell you what it is. From current views I am confident with what I published earlier!
Ceramics do not have reasons to blow, while tantalums are known for that.
