I'm most of the way through building my first HM4.0 and have a couple of questions. First, I was about to put together the button and button height, but the square cap that I ordered has a center piece inside of it that doesn't allow me to push it over the switch. Did I order the right thing or am I missing something obvious?

Secondly, I've already soldered the power and blower jacks to my board and need to change to panel mount jacks. Since I'm not very skilled at de-soldering, I thought that I would just solder wires from the the corresponding legs on the jacks over to the panel mount jacks or even use the existing J4 for the blower. If I've already soldered the blower jack in place, can I still use J4 as a connection? If J4 is only 2 wires, how do I know which of the 3 legs on the new jack to connect it to? Same question for the Power. Since there isn't another set of contacts/holes, which of the 3 legs will I connect a wire to? I thought about just plugging in a cable and cutting it off but I don't have room for that in the box. Does all of this make sense?
Thanks!
