The cap might test OK if the via or BGA ball is actually not used or the test is DC.
In a switching circuit the cap is going to effect the signal that it ias coupled to.
The cap violates electrical spacing and if with vibration it breaks free and moves then you have to remove the BGA and fix it anyway but at much higher cost.

Please see the link below.
Cap under BGA.
Inquiring minds question: If the board tested out OK, would you ever
consider just leaving this here? The part is a ceramic cap.

Hi Genny,
I have your picture posted:

It depends. First thing I would want to know, what is this? Is it metal?
If it is, it would be a violation of electrical spacing and I wouldn't
leave it there.
Does the ball have any function? Some balls have no function.
What is this board for? A critical application? If it is then no.
How scarce is the BGA?
There's a lot of "it depends" that would have to be answered before I
would consider it.
My first reaction is that I wouldn't leave it there. But there may be
some circumstances that I might consider it.
