KX3 2m module, SMA connector to big for cutout

K7KY
I'm installing the 2m module in my KX3, but the SMA connector will not
pass through the case cutout.  I've scraped paint off the hole rim, but
it's still no-go.  Either the hole is too small or the connector a bit
too big. I can't just enlarge the hole without getting metal dust inside
or dismantling the radio. Has anyone encountered this issue when
installing the 2m module?
Thanks, Doug K7KY

You do know you have to match the flat portion of the connector to the flat portion of the case?
