The secret of unplugging WiFi 7 connectors?

I received an ASUS Q-antenna with my new motherboard and stupidly plugged it into my the WiFi 7 port on my I/O panel to test it. And now it doesn't unplug no matter how much I wiggle or (sensibly) brute force it. I've seen other people report this issue as well, so it shouldn't be a faulty component.

Photo of the situation in case it's requested.

ASUS themselves are clueless, or, as they put it, they can't tell me what to do as any breakage would then be on them. They suggested that I asked my retailer(???), but while I did that, I was hoping somebody here might have a better idea?
