Yea, you put capacitors in series parallel when you need to pool the capacitance capacity, put them in parallel series when you need to boost the voltage (at the sacrifice of capacity)
It’s the other way around. Parallel capacitors boost capacitance to the sum of the individuals. It’s like increasing the plates’ area. Serial connected capacitors do the reverse: decreased capacitance with greater breakdown voltage, like the dielectric’s thickness is increased.

Lol I thought I had it backwards
Electronics is super fascinating to me, sadly it was that one particular class that I wasn’t sufficiently good at. so thanks for the explanation!
