When you place connectors close to each other, make sure you place them far enough apart so that you can actually connect cables to both of them at the same time, as often cable-side connectors are larger than connectors on PCB.
@pvc988 yep, I'm also guilty of that. Nowadays, I do a fit check to make sure this doesn't happen - by printing a top layer on a piece of paper, fitting connectors on it, and trying to connect external cables. It's not very hard, but it helped me more than once to avoid embarrassments.

Good advice. Even big, known electronics companies often screw that up.
