Just hold the edge of your motherboard when inserting power plugs - it keeps the board from flexing too much. My board flexed a lot when plugging the 24pin in for the first time. The rear IO shield on some motherboards/case combinations can just be really bad. My rear IO shield is just completely shit and I even had to remove some of the metal inbetween my usb ports on it to get the things to plug in. Although your case with the ethernet port not wanting to plug in sounds more like you not lining up the motherboard correctly to the rear IO shield when mounting the board to the case. Try remounting the board to get a better alignment. It can get tricky sometimes.
