Hi Chelee,

I did not have a power port, but my port placement was exactly how you describe yours.

I was very aware of it and for the first couple of months I don't think I could turn my head without being aware of it.

I did get use to it and had it over 2 years without a problem.

I hope yours feels more comfortable soon.

take care,
