Yep I discovered that technique as well... but I think your description is a bit unclear =x
Not sure how to accurately describe it without showing how its done tho
Two points... even with that technique, you'll need to do a bit of squeezing bending to get the connector from a 90 degree position (facing upwards) into the hole and through it. Also, if you're using a unisleeved 8 pin connector (like mine), you will need to squeeze like hell... still can't believe I got mine through... had plenty of cuts and bruises.
