Just because they're hard as balls to connect, feel like they're going to break when you DO get them connected, and seem like they're going to fall off once they are connected? Why would you say that?
Do people really struggle that much with these connectors? I've never really had an issue with them, a nice soft plastic flathead and a good movement and just like that it's connected. When the plastic isn't available, pointer finger, in a nice rolling motion (left to right or right to left), and the connector is on with no issues.
I just slide the connector over at an angle until so if I'm connecting it say from right to left, the left side of the connector is higher than the right hand side, as I slide the right side eventually "catches" on the edge of the male connector on the board. And then from there a simple roll of my finger generally attaches it no problem.
I just made a comment about how ive never had an issue with this connector, other than on a nuc. The nuc ones are so damn tiny, im pretty sure they use a smaller connector, at least in the intel nuc 7 thru 10 that i work on

Is there a worse connector on earth than the u.fl connector? I can't think of one.
Also, I wish they didn't have those two wires cross over each other, it's annoying.
