A. Any number of things can cause this problem, however the most common are solder joint quality and harsh handing. Solder joint quality here means the solder fillet volume and its coverage on the component’s termination.

The adhesion between the component and the PCB is directly proportional to the amount of solder used in most cases.
Solder fillets typically become smaller as the component becomes smaller, and the lack of solder mass will reduce the adhesion strength also.

Abusive handling obviously can cause the capacitors to come off after soldering, but even normal handling can dislodge a component from the PCB with small solder fillets. Touching the populated PCB with the hand or instrument should be a point of training and minimized as much as possible. Also, aqueous washes offer use higher water pressure than necessary when cleaning flux from the board. Brushes, conveyors, and robotics are all areas of handling risk.
