Here's 2 ideas and one that you might not like.
Remover the rubber plug and slice half of it. That way the wire will fit and the plug gets in place.
They only work if you want the probe to be near the food. Use the fan port to insert the wire and then insert the blower. My blower even fits better with the wire. Now if you want the Gateway controller to be a ways off based on where you have the metal clip and the data wire might not be long enough.
The other idea is use the port with rubber gasket and again the wire might not be long enough.
Both suggestion might need and extension for the wire. I don't have a source but I'm sure Amazon does. I'll need one and I'll post the item number.
