[Elecraft] K3 assembly problem

[Barbara Maloney]

Hi,  Has anyone else had big difficulty getting the front panel connector jacks to match up with the plugs on the RF board when installing the front panel?
 
The problem appears to be the plug behind the mic connector (p50) not wanting to mate.
Pins appear to be straight and equally spaced like the other side.   Very frustrating in that you cant see thru the RF board or shield to see what is preventing the connection.  From the side (mic connector end) I can see that the pins appear to line up, as well as, thru the hole in the RF board on the inside end of the plug.  But still NO GO after several attempts.
 
Any suggestions?
