CONFIRM<
 I have a U3A laptop from Lenovo with same "flap down Ethernet port".

You must with great care insert your ethernet cable end  and move cover
of (trapdoor /flap) downwards and then insert ethernet cable.
This was a mechanical dodge to get thickness so laptop [Flaptop?]reduced.

The flap moves easily but has only a small give.

Removing takes the same care.
