Welcome to the forum.

Can you give a link to it ? Because I can not find a "V3" version of a muscle or EMG sensor on AliExpress.

All the capacitors are labeled "c1", "c2", etc. Which numbers got hot?

C1 and C3

Those are polarized capacitors and will get very hot when the 9 volts are NOT connected correctly!

Ok thank u.

How do you know?
