I can never get the damn things aligned. The head of the connector entirely obscuring the base doesn't help, either.

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.

Ah, I'm usually working inside an Intel NUC when I'm facing them, but I'll give that a try next time if space permits.

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
