This approach seems to be the most promising option. It’s not going to be simple, but it offers the best chance to get the socket to release the connector. I’m amazed at how difficult these connections can be to remove. I previously removed the plastic cover from the motherboard before, with the connector still on, leaving the pins exposed even after removal. Fortunately, in all those instances the pins remained straight, allowing me to slide the plastic piece back over them.

You asked about something unusual happening to you.

It seems quite alike to a DisplayPort locking system but much simpler. Just squeezing the sides with your fingers while shaking it works. I’ve never faced an issue taking out those old USB 3.0 plugs.

Sure, I'll look for more ideas once I'm back.

Attempted to use needle nose pliers, but they are only cutting through the plastic without extracting.

Consider checking if any sections of the socket require trimming before installation to avoid repeating the previous approach.

Simply connect it at the end and set your cable management settings, probably.

I performed the task as described. Each side has a small tooth on the socket, so I removed them. The USB 3 header on the motherboard contains four teeth that hold all four of them in place.

I used a low-cost Chinese cable/adapter USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 with a male connector. It overheated quickly, so I removed it before it damaged my Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 motherboard's USB 3.0 header. I worked carefully, testing both sides, and eventually succeeded. The surrounding shielding melted instead of the header itself. Be patient and avoid forcing it.
