The Surface Connect port connector can be disconnected before moving the port, but the connector is difficult to reconnect while the port is fully seated. During reassembly, it is easier to reconnect the connector before seating the port into its recess.

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up the left screw tab and dislodge the Surface Connect port from the frame.

You only need to lift the port high enough to insert the pointed end of a spudger into the screw tab.
