It will either shift it in the right direction or the wrong direction. Since I do not know which way you need to move the frequency (please tell me), this is a shot in the dark.

I removed my comment regarding direction each cap shifts it because that was an in-the-moment quote from the colpitts chapter I had open on my screen, and on my way home from work, I realized it contradicts what I have said here before and what I have read in other papers. To sort it out, I am going to build a colpitts with the same values you have and see what it does to the closest crystal I have, 6MHz. Sanity check, engage! lol
