I have a 7265NGW WiFi card and I got this m.2 to pcie adapter and I can't connect the tiny antenna cables to the card, it won't pop on.
Anyone know what the deal is?
Can you post pics of the male and female ends?
When you say it won't pop on, do you mean that it won't seat or that it won't stay seated?

They won't seat on

For those antenna connectors, I usually just align the connector with light pressure of the finger so it settles atop, then "rock" them on with medium pressure from a fingernail.
If that's too finicky, just wrapping tape sticky-side outwards around your finger would also work i think - I haven't had too much issues with those but I [I]have[/I] seen some people who just can't get them snapped in for some reason or another.
If it doesn't stay seated, bend the wire down so that it already pushes down on the connector before doing it (then tape it for good measure, I usually just use a small strip of kapton).
NEVERMIND, I GOT EM.
I googled around and i read they are supposed to be easy to pop on and that there were different sizes.
Mine were a bitch to pop on..

I always have to press really hard.
I just wanted to make sure they were the right size before saying "yeah you just want to force them on as hard as you possibly can"
