Reinstall My NFC Antenna Plug?

I have managed to unseat my NFC antenna plug (probably with my thumb while opening my card door on the rt. side of my D500. I just can't seem to get it back in there and flush again. Anybody have a trick? Is the world gonna come to an end if i just leave it open? I never shoot in the rain and pretty much stay away from dusty situations.

Is the antenna unplugged or is the card door not closing? (or both?)

It's not good to leave the antenna unplugged as the radio expects electrical resistance on the antenna port, but operationally it shouldn't affect your images. Leaving the card door open may lead to premature wear on the card connectors though.

I do not have an antenna to plug in, and the card door opens and closes fine. My issue is that the little rubber cover for the NFC antenna hole has come out and I can't get it to go back in flush to the body like it was.

Got it. So it probably isn’t as weather sealed as it should be, but probably fine otherwise. If it really bothers you, a trip back to Nikon could get her fixed back up, but I probably wouldn’t worry unless I was doing a lot of outdoor shooting.
