Unfortunately, you cannot do it at the tmux layer. The tmux man page man tmux
has a section titled KEY BINDINGS which lists the special keys that can be
mapped within tmux. Caps lock is not one of them:

In addition, the following special key names are accepted: Up, Down, Left,
Right, BSpace, BTab, DC (Delete), End, Enter, Escape, F1 to F12, Home, IC
(Insert), NPage/PageDown/PgDn, PPage/PageUp/PgUp, Space, and Tab.

Fortunately, you should be able to do it easily at the CentOS layer.

There are a few ways of doing it, I prefer the following:

setxkbmap -layout us -option ctrl:nocaps

xmodmap -e 'clear Lock'

xmodmap -e 'keycode 0x7e = Control_R'

xmodmap -e 'add Control = Control_R'

Which you can put into your .bashrc file, or wherever commands are run on startup of your system.

There may also be a way to change the keyboard layout in a configuration program within CentOS. I'm not very familiar with it, but Caps Lock to Control is a pretty common request and you should be able to find it if you search for doing it in CentOS, Linux, or anything other than tmux.
