Hello everyone! I'm designing a PCB and I have some doubts about how to connect the 4 resistors at the top to capacitor C34. They are 4 traces, and all of them terminate at the same pad of the capacitor. As I have currently placed them, are they connected correctly? Or should I connect them in a different way?

As other have mentioned, what you got is fine for most basic applications. If you use a polygon pour you can decrease the resistance of the trace and consolidate it all into one large trace. I also see you using traces for ground, the general rule is if you have the room, make all the unused space on at least one of your layers ground with a polygon pour. This makes connecting ground easier, makes your ground more reliable (decreased resistance) and makes your board less susceptible to external noise
