Background
I needed front access to USB on the Argon One Raspberry Pi 4B case. (v1 and v2)
It didn't need to be USB 3, but I figured why limit it to 2.0!
I tried using the Anker 4 port hub but due to the cable on the side of the PCB, this wasn't possible inside the dimensions required.
I was able to find a hub with the cable exiting from the rear which was perfect.
To convert the male A of the hub's cable, I was able to find a right angle keystone jack that did the job.

- Place they keystone jack's PCB into the slot on the rear, it should sort of snap into place.

- Plug the hub's cable into the inside port of the keystone jack, routing it in a loop.
- Secure the keystone jack (or don't) with some hot glue.
- Cover the keystone jack and USB ports with electrical tape because it's pretty snug and it could short out the pi.
