Great but the Ethernet port is in serious need of improvement

I bought this because it is one of the few if not only directly attached hubs that will work with a case. The big issue for me is the Ethernet port. Detaching a cable is a struggle. I am going to contact support to see if they have any clues.
But doesn’t snugly fit the 2022 MBP, contrary to online and phone-support descriptions. (May be OK w 2022 Air—I haven’t checked.) when plugged in, it hangs suspended from the two USB-C plugs without touching the edge of the computer. Needs a new plastic shim to fit 2022 MBP securely; no word on whether/when that’s planned. So Hyper fixed the previous hub’s (also undisclosed) problem of interfering with the MagSafe plug, but created a new one. A firm with such excellent products needs better internal coordination and accurate product descriptions.
The two hubs were birthday presents for a grandson and granddaughter who recently purchased MacBook Air computers. They received the hubs had a timely delivery and they both a very please with the hubs performance.
The hub is well built and solid. No problem there. My main disappointment is that the lid on my M1 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch will not close when using the adapter bar. I do not have a case on the Mac. I wanted a hub that I could keep on and close the lid to travel. This hub doesn't do that with the adapter bar (it comes with two-MacBook M1 2020 and MacBook Pro 2021). If I use a case, the hub does well. But the main reason I purchased this hub was to eliminate the case and have the extra ports. If a modified adapter bar for my 2020 MacBook becomes available, that would be great!
This item is a perfect fit for my MacBook Pro. Just the right amount of slots For the various items I use on a daily basis (iPad, iPhone, Fitbit, Etc). I have old and New MacBooks and can use this For both. Nice and compact for what I need and not a hassle To take with me when traveling. Not an issue when charging multiple Items at a time.
