I’ve always found this awkward too, I usually have to tilt it sideway to connect it, then flip it right side up to clip onto the mounts. Because it is so awkward to connect, always make sure the machine is powered off before connecting and disconnecting. It’s strongly advised anyways, but definitely for this module in particular since it is much easier to not get a good click on the first attempt.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and the details about the installation experience. I’ll pass your suggestion about extending the Smart Assist Module connector to our team for consideration.
