Ground them to the sides on both sides. They stopped doing the tops years ago. Think it was filter blow by. I ground all crystals to sides now.

I built my K2 using the method of grounding on both sides. It has been a little while since I built mine but I seem to recall reading somewhere that this is an improvement over grounding to the top. Also if you add options such as the KPA100, grounding to the side helps eliminate clearance issues with other circuit boards.
