I recently took apart my laptop to clean and replace some components, including reapplying thermal paste and swapping out the fans. Now I'm struggling to reconnect the antennas to the Main and Aux ports on my wifi chip. They just won't click into place. Has anyone experienced this and can offer some tips?

If you're still having trouble and are considering alternatives, a USB wifi adapter is definitely an option! They can be pretty effective and might save you some headaches. That could be a good temporary fix while you figure out the internal setup.
Hey, a quick question: does anyone know if the Dell G16 7630 needs a wifi chip to boot? I got everything back together, but now it's not booting up properly. The fans and keyboard light up, but the screen stays black, and it just stops. Everything else seems fine!
Yeah, those tiny antenna connections can be frustrating! Double-check that the center pin isn't bent and try to align it properly before really pushing down. Also, just to be safe, plug the antennas in before inserting the card; that way, you can see if they fit right!
It can be a hassle! I usually recommend connecting the antennas before sliding the card into its slot. Those connections can be tricky; it might help to apply more pressure than you think is necessary. Just make sure nothing is bent, especially the center pin. Sometimes, using a flat tool, like a popsicle stick, can give you a bit more leverage without risking damage to the chip.
