Is this antenna compatible with this wifi card? (self.buildapc)

I bought these antennas to connect with my wifi card, an Intel Killer AX1690i.

Here you can see a picture of the antenna connector and the Wi-Fi card. I paid special attention in making sure the description on the antenna stated it was compatible with Intel M.2 cards.

I am having a surprisingly tough time connecting them, currently to no avail, so I would like to know if I am doing anything wrong, if I was sent the right product, if you have any tips etc.

They can be a bit finicky. Make sure they are lined up then use a bit of pressure to click in. Careful they don't move out of alignment when pressing down. People sometimes rip the sockets off when detaching, it's quite a snug fit.

I found it easier to connect them on a flat table before screwing in the card.
